OUR PROGRAMS
Our activities are geared toward promoting Christian character, fellowship, mentorship, faith, and encouragement. IAM includes Bible study, prayer, and fellowship in all of our activities, and we also participate in local youth events.
FLIGHT TRAINING PROGRAM
Young people interested in Christian missionary work participate in flight training in a Piper Warrior PA28-161 airplane. Interested ‘missionary-minded’ candidates are offered affordable airplane rental and flight instructor opportunities to support them on their journey to the missionary field.
In 2021, IAM partnered with Wings of Grace of Melbourne Florida to expand outreach and conduct training throughout the year.
In 2025, IAM moved to KPWM--Portland, Maine with sattelite locations remaining in KWVL--Waterville, Maine and X59--Valkaria, Florida.
GROUND SCHOOL PROGRAM
IAM, along with Wings of Grace Ministries, provide ground school training. Classes are taught by certified flight instructors and will prepare the students to pass the FAA Private Pilot exams.
PREVIOUS SUMMER AVIATION CAMP
In 2016, IAM began hosting annual weekly summer camps for young people focusing on flight training, ground school and A&P mechanic training provided by FAA certified flight instructors and mechanics. Participants received at least five hours of flight instruction, ground instruction and A&P experience.
AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT (A&P) TRAINING
Involved teenagers will be taught the systems involved in the airplane that they will fly. Participants in IAM work on airplanes as part of their training. Students will learn basic A&P mechanical skills. Those interested in pursuing advanced aircraft and powerplant certifications will be guided accordingly.
