GuideStone announces release
of its Ministers’ Tax Guide
GuideStone^® has released its most popular annual publication, the 2025 Ministers’ Tax Guide for 2024 Returns prepared by Richard Hammar, available now for GuideStone members. The tax guide includes tax highlights for 2024 — such as annual contribution limits and standard business mileage rates — along with step-by-step filing instructions for ministers’ personal taxes and comprehensive examples and sample forms. Additionally, GuideStone ministry partners and church administrators have access to the annual Federal Reporting Requirements for Churches.This publication is included in the full tax guide or as a separate electronic copy. GuideStone members can receive both free resources by visiting GuideStone.org or can request a free printed copy of the tax guide by calling 1-888-98-GUIDE (1-888-984-8433) (printed copies are limited). The guide was again written this year by Richard Hammar, a noted CPA, attorney and widely published author who specializes in legal and tax issues for ministers. “Ministers’ taxes have their own unique challenges and opportunities,” said GuideStone President Hance Dilbeck. “The annual tax guide is one more opportunity for us to come alongside our members to help them achieve financial resilience so they can focus on their vital Kingdom calling.”
