GuideStone is a leader in church retirement plans and uniquely qualified to provide your client’s church or organization with a competitive, customized retirement plan. Similar to a 401(k) retirement plan, a 403(b)(9) church plan is a non-ERISA employer-sponsored retirement plan available for nonprofit, faith-based organizations. Although it’s called a church plan, it’s not just for churches. Many religiously affiliated entities such as hospitals, universities, children’s homes and other para-church organizations qualify for this valuable plan type.
