Baxter Institute’s sole purpose for existence is to prepare it’s students to become preachers, teachers, missionaries, and leaders among churches of Christ throughout the Spanish-speaking world.

Originally established in Mexico in 1964, Baxter was later moved to Honduras in 1978. Today there are over 700 graduates of Baxter’s residential program, ministers and families involved in a variety of ministry settings all across Latin America and in the U.S.

Visiting medical missions groups from churches and universities in the United States assist the full-time staff. Medical students from Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) also offer assistance.
