Women's Field Minister Program
The Field Minister Program at the Lowell Correctional Institution exists to equip and educate incarcerated women to lead and serve in whatever they do, wherever they are. We want to raise up students to serve and care for their families and communities, whether they are working post-release, receiving more education, or continuing to serve their sentence.
Our Program
The Field Minister Program at the Lowell Correctional Institution offers the Bachelor of Arts in Pastoral Ministry with a secondary emphasis on counseling. This degree is the same degree offered at Judson College at Southeastern's main campus in Wake Forest, NC.

More Information
Graduates of this program will be designated as “Field Ministers” and appointed to field ministry positions within the prison system across the state of Florida.
The Men’s Field Minister Program at Lowell is designed as a pastoral and counseling training program for incarcerated people that have an extensive amount of time remaining on their sentence (12 years or more until release). The purpose of this program is to equip field ministers to serve in the Florida prison system within their own faith tradition. While the program is grounded in a Christian worldview, admission is open to people of all faiths.
Field Ministers will be equipped in the following ways:
- Students will cultivate a heart of service.
- Students will be able to plan and design various services according to their area of interest (counseling, tutoring, community service, faith services, hospitality services, etc.).
- Students will be equipped across the Southeastern Core Competencies: spiritual formation, bible exposition, theological integration, ministry preparation, and critical thinking.
- Students will formulate a philosophy of pastoral ministry and counseling.
