A Unique Educational Journey

The program at Lowell Correctional Institution is designed to offer more than just academic knowledge. It provides a well-rounded theological education that prepares the women not only for personal growth and fulfillment but also for a unique opportunity to serve. Upon completing the rigorous four-year degree program, which runs through fall, spring, winter, and summer semesters, graduates will be equipped and sent to different state prisons to serve as field ministers. This dual focus on education and service creates a powerful platform for change, both in the lives of the students and in the broader community.
