Dr. Walter Maxwell is a graduate of the Sunset International Bible Institute, then known as Sunset School of Preaching. Upon completing his studies, he began serving as Evangelist and Minister at the Roosevelt/ Freeport Christ of Christ and has continued in this role for the past 50 years. In addition to his ministerial duties, Bro. Maxwell previously held the position of X-ray technician at Nassau University Medical Center (formally known as, Nassau County Medical Center). In this position, he assisted in the diagnosis of medical conditions with radiographic procedures and trained physicians and students to utilize correct techniques. Although he was immensely successful in his secular career, he thought it was more important to “heal souls rather than bodies". As a result, he retired from his job in 1988 and dedicated his Full-time efforts to being a “fisher of men” in Western Long Island and the Tri-State area. Over the past 4 decades, Bro. Maxwell’s influence has been far-reaching. Under his leadership, congregations in Far Rockaway, NY; Glen Cove, NY and Scotland Neck, NC were established. He has been a speaker at the National Churches of Christ Lectureship and has been a frequent guest lecturer at congregations in Bermuda, Trinidad, Puerto Rico, Antigua, and Jamaica, West Indies. In an effort to fulfil the great commission, the Roosevelt – Freeport Church of Christ became one of the first congregations to host an Associate School (satellite campus) for the Sunset International Bible Institute. This collaboration made it possible to for men in the Northeast who desire to become gospel preachers to study, obtain certifications, then serve as missionaries and as evangelist in the United States and around the world.
