How The Porch Live Works

The Porch meets weekly at Watermark Community Church in Dallas, TX. Churches can stream The Porch Live and use it as a springboard for hosting a local Porch gathering in their own city. This creates a consistent rhythm of teaching, worship, and connection designed with young adults in mind.

A Young Adult Ministry Focused on Discipleship

The Porch helps churches reach young adults in a defining stage of life with biblical teaching, authentic community, and a clear path into the local church. It gives churches a practical model for engaging a generation that is asking big questions about identity, belonging, purpose, and faith.

Person icon Young Adults Seeking Purpose

There is something happening in the lives of young adults. Many are looking for more: purpose, community, or something greater than themselves. The Porch creates a place where they can walk through the doors of the local church, encounter Jesus, build meaningful relationships, and become part of the church.

Award icon Young Adults Want Authenticity

In a world full of distractions, branding, and surface-level connections, young adults are looking for something genuine. Churches that create environments marked by biblical truth, intentionality, and authentic community are well-positioned to reach them.

Leaf icon A Pivotal Life Stage

This is a season when people are making major decisions—where to live, what to do, who to marry, what to believe. Reaching young adults in this window gives churches the opportunity to point them to Christ during one of the most formative stages of life.

Church icon The Future of the Church

Young adults are not just the next generation of the Church—they are a vital part of it right now. As churches invest in them, they help raise up future leaders, strengthen the body, and build a healthier church for years to come.

Testimonials

What Churches Are Saying

The Porch has been a game-changer for me since it came to Tulsa. The messages are full of truth, and the conversations they spark create an atmosphere unlike any other I’ve found. Through The Porch, I’ve experienced genuine Christian community where I am fully known, fully loved, and encouraged to keep pursuing Christ wholeheartedly.”

The Porch Live creates a relaxed atmosphere where people can invite friends and introduce them to the truth of Jesus. The Word is preached boldly and in a way that connects with young adults, led by pastors who openly share their shortcomings, failures, and the work God has done in their lives.”

What is a Man Good For?

You've probably heard the language around modern manhood: the manosphere, the patriarchy, the rise of toxic masculinity, and so on. In a world where men are constantly told who they should be, we need to know what God has to say about man's purpose. Kylen Perry walks us through Genesis 2 to highlight Scripture's roadmap for manhood.

Don't Waste Your 20s & 30s

Are you worried about wasting your 20s & 30s? It's easy to assume you have all the time in the world, but Scripture is clear we don't know how many days we get — so what are yours going to be marked by? This week, Jonathan "JP" Pokluda kicks off our Porch 20 celebration by walking us through five things he'd tell himself if he could go back.

How Do I Break Up With Someone

What do you do when it's time to call it quits? This week, Kylen Perry gives us a biblical framework for breaking up with grace. While the Bible doesn’t give us a detailed blueprint on how to break up with our significant other, it goes into great detail on how to treat one another in all circumstances.
