Our first area of service

Aviation

Aviation is the tool. Discipleship is the point. Flight training, hands-on maintenance, and mentorship give teenagers a reason to believe their life is going somewhere.

What we run

Programs that start in the hangar and end in a calling

Teen Flight Program

Discovery flights, ground school, and time in the cockpit with mentors who care about the student more than the logbook.

Aircraft Maintenance

Students work alongside certified mechanics on our mission fleet, building toward airframe and powerplant certification.

Missionary Pilot Apprenticeships

Young adults called to mission aviation train toward instrument, commercial, and instructor ratings while serving full time.

Volunteer Pilots & Instructors

Licensed pilots, CFIs, and hangar hands donate hours that put teenagers in the air and keep aircraft flying.

Missionaries who teach while they fly

Our aviation missionaries maintain the mission fleet, hold inspection authorizations, and mentor apprentice pilots and teen program participants. They raise their own support so students never pay for mentorship.

Bring aviation to your town

Start a Wings of Grace crew

A crew is a local team that brings the Wings of Grace mentoring program to teenagers in its own community — no aviation experience required. We provide the curriculum, mentor training, ground school materials, background screening, and ongoing coaching. You provide a place to meet and adults willing to walk with students.

  • Curriculum, ground school, and mentor training provided
  • Discovery flights and volunteer pilots connected to your crew
  • Your own crew portal for events, tasks, and announcements
  • Coaching from our team through your first year
