Learn How To Support The Work At Baxter Institute

The Baxter Foundation serves as a conduit of financial support for Baxter.

The Baxter Foundation, Inc. plays a pivotal role in financially supporting the efforts of the Baxter Institute. It serves as the conduit for Baxter’s funding from the United States into Honduras. The Memorial Road Church of Christ contributes to this mission through annual donations, such as the Missions Sunday offering, by organizing annual yearly mission trips and as the sponsoring congregation.

For over 60 years, Baxter Institute has been providing ministerial training in a Latin American context. Initially founded in Mexico, the institution was later moved to Honduras. Today, Baxter boasts over 600 graduates from its residential program—ministers and their families who are actively engaged in a wide range of ministry roles across Latin America and in the United States.

Baxter’s residential training program is a comprehensive four-year, university-level academic course, enhanced by weekend church ministry assignments and regional evangelistic campaigns. In their final year, students embark on a six-month capstone ministry apprenticeship called PAM (Practicum and Ministry). These experiences prepare students for full-time ministry, and each year, hundreds of individuals are baptized through their outreach efforts.

Beyond its residential program, Baxter also offers extension courses through the CELO program and leadership training via the Saturday PEC program. Throughout the year, various seminars are held to serve both students and the wider community. The Baxter faculty also supports local church planting and development, impacting thousands through their training initiatives.

The Special Missions Contribution at Memorial Road provides scholarships to students from Cuba, helping to ensure that financial barriers do not prevent aspiring ministers from receiving vital training at Baxter.

The Baxter Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in the United States, established to provide financial support to both Baxter Institute and the Baxter Clinic. Formerly known as the Amicus Association, the Baxter Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors, who meet regularly to offer prayerful guidance and financial backing for all of Baxter’s efforts—whether at the Institute, within the Clinic, or in the broader mission field.

As a U.S. 501(c)(3) charity, the Baxter Foundation, Inc. is the trusted intermediary for transferring funds from the United States to support Baxter’s work in Honduras. The Baxter Foundation ensures that donations are handled transparently and responsibly, supporting the mission work that is happening on the ground in Honduras.
