What is Watermark Resources?

We are a ministry that serves churches around the world with discipleship programs and resources that have been developed by Watermark Community Church.

The resources we offer include:

Ministries

Our discipleship ministries equip your church to care for people through different seasons and struggles while helping them grow in maturity in Christ. These ministries include Re|engage, Merge, Foundation Groups, Re:generation, Re:generation for Students, and The Porch Live.

Events

Our events are designed to support church leaders at different stages. The Church Leaders Conference is our annual gathering for leaders across the local church, Open Houses offer a way to explore Re|engage and Re:generation, and Training Conferences provide more in-depth training for Re|engage, Merge, Foundation Groups, Re:generation, and Re:generation for Students.

Equipping

Our equipping resources help church leaders grow, lead, and serve their churches through podcast episodes, blog articles, and curriculum.

Our values

How we serve

These values shape how we work together and serve the churches we support. They reflect our commitment to keeping Jesus at the center, stewarding what we’ve been given with generosity and excellence, and walking alongside others in a way that equips, supports, and multiplies disciple-making.

Keep Jesus the Hero

Remember, the true source of transformation is not the tools we create but the Savior we follow.

Share What We’ve Been Given

Freely steward the ministries we develop, things we learn, and mistakes we’ve made - for practitioners, by practitioners.

Remain Accessible

Walk with churches every step of the way so they feel seen, heard, and supported.

Ministry Distinctives

Each resource was created by experienced church leaders to meet real needs in the church body. Through them, we continue to see Christ bring lasting transformation in the lives of participants.

Discipleship, Not Behavior Change

By focusing on discipleship and daily abiding with Christ rather than behavior change alone, we’ve seen lasting transformation in the lives of participants.

Who is Watermark Community Church?

Watermark Community Church was started in Dallas back in 1999 by a group of people desperate to be a thriving body of believers, daring to live in unashamed authenticity, and desiring to see the gospel spread and transform their city.

The church began to grow, and by God's grace, lives began to change. Now, more than 25 years later, our heart is to share what we have learned with others.
