Robert & Kathryn Baxter

Robert and Kathryn moved to France as missionaries in January of 1988.  They have served as the senior leaders of the Paris-based church Le Bon Berger (The Good Shepherd) since they founded it in January 1991. Robert and Kathryn also helped to establish a network of churches in Europe called the Horizon Family of Churches and Ministries during the 1990's. This network was formally established in 2005 and Robert has served as its primary leader until the summer of 2017. The official federation of Horizon churches was admitted into the Protestant Federation of France in 2014.

​The Baxters founded a discipleship school in 2001, a worship school in 2005, and a pastors training school in 2009. These three schools merged and became Horizon Training Center. This structure will allow the establishment of a Christian school, an evangelism school, a language school and a missionary training center.

They have participated in some manner in planting more than 20 churches primarily in Europe and French-speaking countries. They serve as advisors to numerous churches, leaders and ministries around the world.  ​

Robert and Kathryn have a true heart for God and His Church. They are determined, passionate and faithful people, who have dedicated their whole lives to advancing the kingdom of God in France, in the French-speaking world, and in all the earth.
