About us

You are part of a movement!  

God uses Stonecroft to impact communities by supporting local leaders and groups to invite people to the know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Stonecroft Ministries offers women training, mentorship, Bible studies, outreach, and communities to help them find their purpose and engage in their calling.

In over 85 years of work, the Lord has used Stonecroft materials, trainings, and volunteers to empower over hundreds of thousands of women to share Jesus in and around their communities. Today, we are seeing an average of more than 1700 women make a decision to follow Jesus each year! Those are just the numbers we know about. Imagine how many more are impacted!

Stonecroft is a 501(c)(3) non-denominational nonprofit organization and a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountablity (ECFA)

Our amazing volunteers

Our story is a partnership between the work of God and the heart of women to impact those in our local communities. For more than eight decades, hundreds of thousands of women have poured countless hours, prayers, and resources into loving others in community with an invitation to the Gospel.

The Board of Directors serves tirelessly to keep our focus stayed on the mission and vision of our organization. They lovingly lead us with prayer and integrity.

The staff serves to support the work of local leaders and groups as well as grow the reach of the ministry.

As volunteer leaders, a Board of Directors, and staff, we share the passion to see women meet Jesus.
