For over sixty years Stonecroft Ministries has been a non-denominational, dynamic, international presence providing opportunities for women to reach others for Jesus Christ. Its mission is to “equip and encourage women to impact their communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.”

Stonecroft was founded in answer to the prayers of Helen Duff Baugh, a woman gifted with a consuming passion to share the wonder of God’s salvation. She was acutely aware of the desperate spiritual condition of many of those she met. God inspired her to plan a dinner for the purpose of sharing a clear gospel message with her husband’s coworkers.

Today Stonecroft Ministries has over 1,200 outreach groups. Like that very first meeting, each event is in an inviting secular atmosphere led by lay people and includes a speaker who shares the reality of Jesus Christ. Stonecroft Bible Studies provide outreach opportunities as well as knowledge of the Word of God. The future vision includes shared interest groups and other means of friendship evangelism.
