Training & Equipping Pilots for Mission Aviation Ministry
Equipping individuals with the skills, faith, and knowledge to serve communities around the world through aviation missions.


Aviation with a Purpose
We train and equip evangelical Christian pilots for mission aviation ministry, including meeting qualifications for major mission organizations and training directly for service with smaller aviation ministries.
There is a serious shortage of pilots serving in remote locations around the world, where aviation is the most practical means of transportation for church planters, Bible translators, health care workers and patients, and disaster relief efforts. MATA trains pilots to help meet the shortfall of missionary pilots in order to spread the Gospel farther and faster.
But how can they call on Him to save them unless they believe in Him? And how can they believe in Him if they have never heard about Him? And how can they hear about Him unless someone tells them?
Romans 10:14 NLT

Alaska Ministries
MATA students gain real-world mission field experience by assisting Alaska ministries. We serve Bible camps, repair ministry airplanes, and help people who live in remote & isolated villages.
T.E. Prep Course
This course helps prepare candidates to ensure that they are ready for the “Technical Evaluations” adminstered by mission agencies prior to being accepted as a new Missionary Pilot.


Aviation Camp
Teens ages 14-18 spend six days in flight training and are introduced to Mission Aviation. Campers can log hours towards becoming a pilot.
Camp is held during the end of July.
