We invite you to help fuel a movement to transform lives in Cookeville and the Upper Cumberland!

Started in 2022, El Puente is a Hispanic Community Center in Cookeville, TN. The words “El Puente” are Spanish for “the bridge.” And from its beginnings, that is what El Puente has striven to be. A bridge connecting Spanish speaking families in our area to the many resources available to them. A bridge connecting people to a community where they feel welcomed, safe, accepted, connected, and loved. And a bridge to connect the broader community of Cookeville with our Hispanic neighbors and friends.

What do we offer?

Weekly community gatherings around coffee and snacks called "Cafecito"
Empowerment Classes to share about resources available and training
Sunday morning Bible study gathering and weekly women's devotionals in partnership with Manna Global Missions
Case management services to directly connect people with the services they need
English classes and practice opportunities

We think Cookeville is one of the best places in the world to live. It is full of generous people offering incredible resources and community. We believe that when we all come together to support our neighbors, no matter where they come from, it makes all of us better! We hope you'll join us on this journey of building bridges into the Hispanic community.
