Mission

 

Bartlesville Ladies Connection (Stonecroft) helps women their stories and how they intersect with the compassionate story of God.  We've been doing this since 1938.  We teach women about the Jesus of the Bible by taking the Gospel right to them.  Jesus' big agenda had nothing to do with exclusivity and everything to do with perfect acceptance.  That's even where our motto "where she is, as she is" came from.  A women doesn't need to be anything more (or less) than she is right now.  She doesn't need to be any different than who she is today.  She is valuable now!

 

Volunteers across the U.S. and in more than 40 countries use Stonecroft's outreaches such as our resources, training and Stonecroft Bible Studies to share the Gospel.  More than 15,000 Stonecroft-equipped volunteers regularly invite the women of their communities to join each other in prayer and the advancement of this mission.

 

History

 

Stonecroft's story starts with one woman's love for God and a deepening desire to spend time in conversation with Him.  Like most women in the 1930's, Mrs. Helen Duff Baugh had a home to keep and a husband and children to attend to and love.  But she still took the time to pray during her day.  God prompted her to invite others to pray with her.  She took action, invited others, and soon 24 different groups of women met weekly in their community of San Jose, California.  They asked God for a way to tell people about His love and concern for them.  

 

Their prayers were answered with the first Christian Business and Professional Women's Club in 1938.  Since then, countless women have been inspired to build relationships with the women around them and share how their story intersects with God's story.  They talk about Jesus in large group events and small, intimate gatherings.  And often, they reveal Jesus' compassion one-on-one to women they know or happen to meet in their community.
