Bowman Foster Stockwell was born on 17 September 1899 to Reverend Eugene S. Stockwell (1865–1921) and Addie Bunnell Stockwell (1865–1926). There is a discrepancy where he was born in Shawnee, Ohio or in the state of Oklahoma. Bowman Foster Stockwell had three siblings; however two of them died as children: his older brother, Eugene Earl Stockwell died at 7 years old and his younger sister was Emma Louise Stockwell died at 9 days old. His only surviving sibling was his oldest brother, Benjamin Paul Stockwell. As a young man, Bowman Foster Stockwell served for a period of time as Secretary to the great missionary statesman, John R. Mott.
In 1926, the Board of Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church sent Reverend Bowman Foster Stockwell to teach in Buenos Aires, Argentina at the Union Seminary, which was an institution for educating students in theology. The Union Seminary is now known as La Facultad Evangelica de Teologia, which translated into English means The Faculty of Evangelical Theology. From 1927 until 1960 he was the Director of the Union Seminary and was responsible for the seminary being recognized at a university degree level. An acknowledged scholar and theologian, Reverend Bowman Foster Stockwell wrote a number of books and edited several papers. He was also instrumental in acquiring a valuable collection on the little-known Spanish Reformation, which is housed in the library of La Facultad Evangelica de Teologia in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
In 1960, Reverend Bowman Foster Stockwell was elected to the episcopacy by the Latin America Central Conference of The Methodist Church and was thereafter referred to as Bishop Bowman Foster Stockwell. He was assigned to the Pacific Episcopal Area and chose to live in Lima, Peru.
