Mestizo Community Church

Mestizo Community Church is a church at 36 Chaffee St in Providence, RI 02909-2712. It is one of 210 churches in Providence.

Naming our church community “Mestizo” is very intentional. This Spanish word is most generally translated as “mixed” and historically referred to people having a mixture of European and Indigenous blood. Now — with an open invitation to all of us finding ourselves in a new humanity — many scholars, poets, and pastors realize that mestizo is who we have always been: A beautiful, complicated mixture of culture and “otherness.”Here at Mestizo, there is a seat at the table and a place for the voices of those who often go unheard and unseen.
