Ministries

The Porch calls young adults in Dallas out of the complacency of our culture. The message each week allows no room for stagnancy. Our desire is for singles in our community to come into relationship with Christ. The Porch challenges people to take the next step of faith and get connected with others who will spur them on in their walk with Christ. We do not dodge tough issues, but rather take them head on and address them authentically from Scripture

The Porch is also a place to connect with others in your life stage and hear what the Young Adults are doing at Watermark, in Dallas, and around the world.  At The Porch Café you can get information on community groups, sporting events, discipleship trips, service opportunities, and have fellowship together.

The Porch: Who We Are

The Porch is a mission and a community. Our mission is to love the city of Dallas by meeting needs and loving the hurting. We also serve our peers in Dallas through relationship focused environments that help young adults (20s and 30s) explore what it means to follow Christ in today's culture. We gather together weekly: To be encouraged/challenged by the truth in order to connect with others; to be spurred on towards love and good deeds; to go and make an impact for Christ in this local community. Come and see what God is doing in and through our lives at The Porch.

Volunteering

As a Porch Volunteer we are here to help Young Adults in this community take the next step in their relationship with Christ, whether they are far from Him or have been walking with Him for years. This happens as we create a welcoming and safe environment where people can be shepherded in truth and connected into a deeper relationship with Christ. Every volunteer must be able to share their three minute story of grace.
