Controlling Voting Interest Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Controlling Voting Interest Risk: In accordance with the GuideStone Funds Trust Instrument, GuideStone will, at all times, directly or indirectly own, control or hold with power to vote at least 60% of the outstanding shares of GuideStone Funds. This means that GuideStone will control the vote on any matter that requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of GuideStone Funds.
Depositary Receipts Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Depositary Receipts Risk: Investments in depositary receipts (i.e., ADRs) are generally subject to the same risks of investing directly in the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations and political and financial instability in the home country of a particular depositary receipt or foreign stock. In addition, securities of foreign issuers may be negatively affected by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries. Foreign issuers may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk as there may be an imperfect correlation between the market value of depositary receipts and the underlying foreign securities. In addition, issuers underlying unsponsored depositary receipts may not provide as much information as U.S. issuers and issuers underlying sponsored depositary receipts. Unsponsored depositary receipts also may not carry the same voting privileges as sponsored depositary receipts.
Dividend Paying Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Dividend Paying Securities Risk: There is no guarantee that the companies in which the Fund invests will declare dividends in the future or that dividends, if declared, will remain at current levels or increase over time.
Equity Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Equity Risk: Stocks and other equity securities generally fluctuate in value more than fixed income securities and may decline significantly over short time periods. There is a chance that stock prices overall will decline because stock markets tend to move in cycles with periods of rising and falling prices. The market value of a stock may fall due to changes in a company’s financial condition as well as general market, economic and political conditions and other factors.
Faith-Based Investing Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Faith-Based Investing Risk: The Fund invests in accordance with the faith-based investment restrictions of GuideStone. The Fund may not be able to take advantage of certain investment opportunities due to these restrictions, which may adversely affect investment performance. In evaluating an investment, the Adviser or Sub-Adviser is dependent upon information and data that may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could adversely affect the analysis of the factors relevant to a particular investment.
Financial Services Sector Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Financial Services Sector Risk: Performance of companies in the financial services sector may be adversely impacted by many factors, including, among others, changes in government regulations, economic conditions and interest rates, credit rating downgrades and decreased liquidity in credit markets. The extent to which the Fund may invest in a company that engages in securities-related activities or banking is limited by applicable law. The impact of changes in capital requirements and recent or future regulation of any individual financial company, or of the financial services sector as a whole, cannot be predicted. In recent years, cyberattacks and technology malfunctions and failures have become increasingly frequent and have caused significant losses to companies in this sector, which may negatively impact the Fund.
Foreign Securities Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Foreign Securities Risk: Obligations or securities of foreign issuers may be negatively affected by political events, economic conditions or inefficient, illiquid or unregulated markets in foreign countries. Foreign issuers may be subject to inadequate regulatory or accounting standards, which may increase investment risk. Security values also may be negatively affected by changes in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. It may take more time to clear and settle trades involving foreign securities. In addition, securities issued by U.S. entities with substantial foreign operations or holdings can involve risks relating to conditions in foreign countries.
Forward Currency Contract Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Forward Currency Contract Risk: A forward foreign currency exchange contract is an agreement to buy or sell a specific currency at a future date and at a price set at the time of the contract. Foreign forward currency exchange contracts involve a risk of loss if currency exchange rates move against the Fund and are subject to counterparty risk.
Futures and Options on Futures Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Futures and Options on Futures Risk: There is a risk that the prices of futures and options on futures contracts will diverge from the prices of their underlying instruments. Futures and options prices are affected by such factors as current and anticipated short-term interest rates, changes in volatility of the underlying instrument and the time remaining until expiration of the contract, which may not affect security prices the same way. Imperfect or no correlation also may result from differing levels of demand in the options and futures markets and the securities markets, from structural differences in how options and futures and securities are traded and from imposition of daily price fluctuation limits or trading halts. There can be no assurance that, at all times, a liquid market will exist for offsetting a futures or options contract that the Fund has previously bought or sold and this may result in the inability to close a contract when desired.
Large Capitalization Companies Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Large Capitalization Companies Risk: There is a risk that large capitalization stocks may not perform as well as other asset classes or the U.S. stock market as a whole. Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges such as changes in technology and consumer tastes. Many larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.
Large Shareholder Transactions Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Large Shareholder Transactions Risk: The Fund may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders, including institutional accounts managed by the Adviser’s affiliates, as well as other series of GuideStone Funds (i.e., funds) that invest in the Fund, purchase or redeem large amounts of Fund shares. Such large shareholder redemptions may cause the Fund to sell portfolio securities at times when it would not otherwise do so, which may negatively impact the Fund’s net asset value and liquidity. Similarly, large Fund share purchases may adversely affect the Fund’s performance to the extent that the Fund is delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would. These transactions also will increase the distribution of taxable income to shareholders if sales of portfolio investments result in gains, and may also increase transaction costs. In addition, a large redemption could result in the Fund’s current expenses being allocated over a smaller asset base, leading to an increase in the Fund’s expense ratio.
Market Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Market Risk: The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the market value of its investments, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably. Market value will change due to business developments concerning a particular issuer or industry, as well as general market and economic conditions. Changes in the financial condition of a single issuer can impact the market as a whole. Geopolitical risks, including terrorism, tensions, trade disputes or open conflict between nations, or political or economic dysfunction within some nations that are major players on the world stage or major producers of oil, may lead to instability in world economies and markets, may lead to increased market volatility and may have adverse long-term effects. Additionally, the imposition of tariffs or trade restrictions can disrupt global supply chains, increase costs for certain industries, and contribute to heightened market volatility, which may adversely affect the Fund's investments. Local, regional or global events such as the spread of infectious illnesses or other public health issues, recessions, natural disasters or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments. In addition, markets and market participants are increasingly reliant upon information data systems. Data imprecision, software or other technology malfunctions, programming inaccuracies, unauthorized use or access and similar circumstances may have an adverse impact upon a single issuer, a group of issuers or the market at-large. Additionally, legislative, regulatory, or tax developments may affect the investments or investment strategies available to the Adviser in connection with managing the Fund, which may also adversely affect the ability of the Fund to achieve its investment objective.
Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Mid-Capitalization Companies Risk: Medium-sized company (i.e., mid-cap) stocks have historically been subject to greater investment risk than large company stocks. They generally are more vulnerable than larger companies to adverse business or economic developments. The risks generally associated with these companies include more limited product lines, markets and financial resources, lack of management depth or experience, dependency on key personnel and vulnerability to adverse market and economic developments. Accordingly, the prices of medium-sized company stocks tend to be more volatile than prices of large company stocks.
Multiple Sub-Adviser Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Multiple Sub-Adviser Risk: Fund performance is dependent upon the success of the Adviser and the Sub-Advisers in implementing the Fund’s investment strategies in pursuit of the Fund’s investment objective. To a significant extent, the Fund’s performance will depend on the success of the Adviser’s methodology in allocating the Fund’s assets to Sub-Advisers and its selection and oversight of the Sub-Advisers. The Sub-Advisers’ investment styles may not work together as planned, which could adversely affect the performance of the Fund. In addition, because each Sub-Adviser makes its trading decisions independently, it is possible that the Sub-Advisers may purchase or sell the same security at the same time without aggregating their transactions or hold long and short positions in the same security at the same time. This may cause unnecessary brokerage and other expenses. A Sub-Adviser’s strategy may be out of favor at any time.
Sector Concentration Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Sector Concentration Risk: Although the Fund will not concentrate in any particular industry, it may be heavily invested in a particular economic sector. If the Fund focuses on one or a few sectors, its performance is likely to be disproportionately affected by developments that significantly affect that sector, including market, economic, political or regulatory developments. Individual sectors may be more volatile and may perform differently than the broader market. The Fund’s performance may also suffer if a sector does not perform as well as a Sub-Adviser expected. Prices of securities in the same sector often change collectively regardless of the merits of individual companies.
Value Investing Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Value Investing Risk: There is a risk that value-oriented investments may not perform as well as the rest of the stock market as a whole. Value stocks may remain undervalued or may decrease in value during a given period or may not ever realize what the investment manager believes to be their full value.
Warrants and Rights Risk [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] ●Warrants and Rights Risk: Because the market price of warrants may be significantly less than the current price of the underlying security, there is a greater risk that warrants may drop in value at a faster rate than the underlying security. Warrants and rights do not carry with them the right to dividends or voting rights with respect to the securities that they entitle their holder to purchase, and they do not represent any rights in the assets of the issuer. As a result, warrants and rights may be considered more speculative than certain other types of investments. In addition, the value of a warrant or right does not necessarily change with the value of the underlying securities. The Fund could lose the value of a warrant or right if the right to subscribe to additional shares is not exercised prior to the warrant’s or right’s expiration date. The market for warrants and rights may be very limited and there may at times not be a liquid secondary market for warrants and rights.
Risk Lose Money [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.
Risk Not Insured Depository Institution [Member]  
Prospectus [Line Items]  
Risk [Text Block] An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
