MMS Aviation: Background

MMS Aviation prepares people and planes for worldwide mission service. Founded in 1975, MMS prepares people to serve as missionary airplane mechanics through a thirty-month aviation maintenance apprenticeship while maintaining, modifying, and repairing missionary aircraft from around the world.

Because everyone at MMS (staff and apprentices) are faith-supported missionaries, MMS is able to provide its direct services labor free to mission organizations, charging only for the parts and materials used in the repair process.

Families and individuals who complete their thirty-months of service with MMS then join one of the 125 organizations using aircraft for Christian ministry around the world.

MMS families currently serve in: North Africa, Brazil, Zambia, South Africa (2), Indonesia (2), Kenya (2), Mongolia, Tanzania, Uganda, Canada, Peru, Mexico, Florida (5), North Carolina (3) and (6) serve as staff at our Coshocton hangar facility. Two other families are currently transitioning to service.
