POLICIES FOR STONECROFT BIBLE STUDIES:
Stonecroft Ministries sets the policies for its Bible studies.
It is essential that everyone serving with Stonecroft Bible Studies
abide by the following policies:
• The Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is included in every
Stonecroft Bible Study, is to be presented in a clear, concise manner.
• Stonecroft Ministries does not hold official positions
on doctrinal, social, or political issues outside its Statement
of Faith.
Those involved in leadership in Stonecroft Ministries will:
• Agree to the Stonecroft Ministries Statement of Faith and
Policies
• Work in harmony with local churches
• Ensure that any statements made during discussions related
to social and political issues are not in any way reflected as an
official position of Stonecroft Ministries.
In the Stonecroft Bible Studies program, it is suggested that the
participants use the Stonecroft-approved Study Book and Guidebook.
In the Introductory Trinity Studies, it is suggested that all participants
use the same edition of the Swahili Union New Testament Bible or
Bible Handbook for the Tanzania ministry.
Potential Guides and Coordinators are requested to complete the
Stonecroft Bible Studies Application. Guides and Coordinators are
selected and trained by local Bible Study leadership. A training
video has been created in an attempt by the Barbados Stonecroft
Bible Study ladies to train the Guides that will take Stonecroft
Bible Studies into Tanzania, Malawi, Uganda and other African countries.
These four 15 minute videos will also be recorded in Swahili and
other African languages to assist with the education of future African
Guides which along with this Handbook should equip them for the
ministry.
