Pastors for Texas Children (PTC) is a faith-rooted nonprofit ministry dedicated to supporting Texas neighborhood public schools through prayer, service, and advocacy. Founded in 2013, PTC brings together pastors and faith leaders across denominations to invest in schools—through volunteer tutoring, appreciation events, legislative outreach, and community-building—uniting faith with public education as a moral and civic imperative.
