Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]	rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock	The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the total annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. Portfolio turnover rate for the Fund’s last fiscal year is not provided because the Fund has not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Finally, the example assumes that all dividends and other distributions are reinvested. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
Strategy [Heading]	rr_StrategyHeading	Principal Investment Strategies
Strategy Narrative [Text Block]	rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock	The Fund invests mainly (at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any, and typically more) in equity securities that are economically tied to emerging markets. Equity securities may include stock, stock futures, rights, warrants or securities convertible into stock, of foreign companies, and the Fund may invest in companies with any market capitalization. The Fund considers emerging markets to include any non-Canadian and non-American market that is not included in the MSCI EAFE Index. As of the date of this prospectus, the markets in the following countries are excluded from the term “emerging markets”: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. In addition, the Fund’s investments in emerging markets may include investments in frontier markets, which are a sub-set of emerging markets that are investable but that may have lower market capitalization and liquidity and may be more politically unstable than more developed emerging markets. An issuer is considered to be from the country where it is located based on where it is headquartered or incorporated, where the majority of its assets are located and/or where it generates the majority of its operating income. The Fund’s portfolio is diversified among a large number of companies across different industries and economic sectors. Although the Fund has the flexibility to invest a significant portion of its assets in one country or region, it generally intends to remain diversified across countries and geographical regions. Common stocks of foreign companies are predominantly traded on foreign stock exchanges. The Fund may invest to a lesser extent in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”) and other similar instruments, each of which represents ownership of underlying foreign securities in currencies other than that of the country of incorporation. The Fund may use forward exchange contracts, options and futures on stock indices and swap agreements to gain exposure to foreign markets and currencies. The Fund may also use derivative instruments, such as futures, options, forward contracts and swap agreements as a substitute for investing directly in an underlying asset, to increase return, to manage foreign currency risk, to hedge against losses or as an alternative to selling a security short. The Fund may engage in frequent and active trading of portfolio securities to achieve its investment objective. The Fund uses a multi-manager approach, using two or more Sub-Advisers that each manages a portion of its portfolio under the oversight of the Adviser. The Sub-Advisers, in managing their respective portions of the Fund’s portfolio, practice different investment styles that the Adviser believes complement one another. The Adviser recommends sub-adviser selections to the board of trustees based on a variety of qualitative and quantitative factors in an attempt to maximize return across the entire portfolio, while minimizing risk to the extent possible. Buy and sell decisions are made at the discretion of each individual Sub-Adviser with regard to the portion of the Fund’s portfolio that they manage in accordance with their investment strategies and processes.
Risk [Heading]	rr_RiskHeading	Principal Investment Risks
Risk Narrative [Text Block]	rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock	There is no guarantee that the international stock markets or the stocks that the Fund buys will increase in value. It is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The Fund’s value will go up and down in response to changes in the market value of its investments. Market value will change due to business developments concerning a particular issuer, industry or country, as well as general market and economic conditions. An investor in the Fund should be able to accept significant short-term fluctuations in value. 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. Investing in emerging markets involves even greater risks than investing in more developed foreign markets because, among other things, emerging markets often have more political and economic instability. Investing in frontier markets involves greater risk than investing in traditional emerging markets because frontier countries generally have smaller economies, greater political instability and less developed capital markets, and as a result, the risks of investing in emerging market countries are magnified in frontier countries. The Fund may invest in securities issued by foreign companies through ADRs, GDRs and U.S. dollar-denominated foreign stocks trading on U.S. exchanges. These securities are subject to many of the risks inherent in investing in foreign securities, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuations and political and financial instability in the home country of a particular ADR 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. Medium-sized company stocks have historically been subject to greater investment risk than large-company stocks. 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. Small-sized companies have historically been more volatile and less liquid than an investment in a larger company. Small companies generally are more sensitive to adverse business and economic conditions than larger, more established companies. Small companies may have limited financial resources, management experience, markets and product diversification. Changes in currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar may negatively affect the values of foreign investments held by the Fund. Sub-Advisers may make currency investment decisions independent of their underlying stock selections. The Fund’s investments in a particular country or geographic region may be particularly susceptible to political, diplomatic or economic conditions and regulatory requirements. To the extent the Fund concentrates its investments in a particular country, region or group of regions, the Fund may be more volatile than a more geographically diversified fund. Derivatives are subject to the risk of changes in the market price of the underlying securities, credit risk with respect to the counterparty to the derivative instruments, correlation risk and the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currencies in the case of forward currency exchange contracts. The use of certain derivatives may also have a leveraging effect which may increase the volatility of the Fund and may reduce its returns. The Fund may have a high portfolio turnover rate. High turnover could produce higher transaction costs and taxable distributions and lower the Fund’s after-tax performance. The performance of the Fund will depend on how successfully its Sub-Advisers pursue its investment strategies.

[2] The Adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent needed to limit total annual operating expenses, before expense payments by broker-dealers, to 1.25% for the GS2 Class and 1.50% for the GS4 Class (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, acquired Fund fees and expenses and expenses incurred in connection with the short sales of securities). This contractual waiver and reimbursement applies to direct Fund operating expenses only and, should it be needed, will remain in place until April 30, 2015. The "Fee waiver and expense reimbursement" may also include the waiver of shareholder service fees attributable to the Fund's cash balances invested in the Money Market Fund. If expenses fall below the levels noted above within three years after the Adviser has made such a waiver or reimbursement, the Fund may repay the Adviser so long as the repayment does not cause the Fund to exceed its expense limitation during the year in which the repayment is made and the expense limitation in place during the year in which the waivers were originally incurred. This contractual waiver and reimbursement can only be terminated by the GuideStone Funds' Board of Trustees.

    Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in the total annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. Portfolio turnover rate for the Fund’s last fiscal year is not provided because the Fund has not commenced operations prior to the date of this Prospectus.

Principal Investment Strategies

• The Fund invests mainly (at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, if any, and typically more) in equity securities that are economically tied to emerging markets.
