The ministry of the Jay Stone Singers began in the
small North Carolina town of Hope Mills in October
of 1976. Jay Stone, the group's founder, was
serving as the choir director at his home church,
Mount Carmel Pentecostal Holiness, in Fayetteville,
NC. Having been involved with various local Southern
Gospel groups for most of his adult life, Jay was
beginning to feel that God was directing him to take
his ministry back on the road. However, this time
would be different because the group was to be made
up of Jay, his wife Mary, their 13 year old son
Jeff, their 11 year old daughter Sharona, and a few
close friends. In June of 1984 Bobby Carter joined
the group to sing tenor and play the bass guitar.
Bobby and Sharona were married in November of 1987.
Today’s group consists of Jay and Mary Stone, Bobby
and Sharona Carter and their children, Stone Carter,
14 and Emma Carter, 11. During the last 32 years of
ministering through song, they have traveled in 19
states, Canada and Mexico. The Jay Stone Singers
have recorded ten projects over the years, and are
currently recording with The Eddie Crook Company on
the Four Square record label.
This family group provides an exciting evangelistic
ministry. Their desire is to witness to the lost,
encourage the hurting and motivate others to grow
the Kingdom of God. The close family harmonies are
sure to please your ears, but the anointing and love
of God will stir your soul.
