Preston Taylor Ministries at Wilson Center

Based at the Hal and Martha Wilson Center in Nashville, Preston Taylor Ministries is a faith-centered youth education and mentorship organization. It serves children and young people through programs designed to support academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth. Programs include mentorship, literacy, and enrichment opportunities, along with summer camps. The organization connects students with caring adults, positive peer groups, a sense of purpose, and educational opportunities. Its history began with Perry McGowan tutoring neighborhood children in 1985, before the ministry was incorporated in 1998 to address challenges faced by low-income communities. Activities described in its early programming included tutoring, field trips, and sports opportunities. PTM's current work centers on helping students learn, form friendships, and explore their abilities in a Christ-centered setting.
