Jaars Center

75th Anniversary Celebration

Join us for a time of remembering God’s goodness—from our first flights in the remote jungles of Peru, to serving countless places, languages, and people all over the world. Hear stories, share in fellowship and worship, and look ahead with us to what God has next for JAARS.

Come and explore “Miss Virginia,” a WWII DC-3 aircraft that flew for many years as a part of JAARS.
