The Watermark CDC serves economic needs like financial literacy and job placement programs in under-resourced Dallas communities, empowers communities to transform their own welfare and livelihoods through the outworking of the gospel, and supports healthy financial independence. Our hope is to restore dignity, provide sustainable development, and use discipleship as a means to invest in the community.
Our hope is to see real life change and human flourishing happen through innovative and sustainable economic transformation by coming alongside our city, neighborhood by neighborhood. We want to be a part of bringing dignity and healthy independence to individuals, with the gospel of Jesus Christ as the core of our mission.
Financial Empowerment
Pay day loans, unbanked individuals, and soaring debt create huge challenges for under-resourced communities. The CDC’s financial empowerment initiatives provide financial education and accelerated savings through the Financial Catalyst program, retail banking, and general financial services.
Vocational Training & Employment
Job placement, along with soft and hard-skill training programs, is a key focus within the Watermark CDC to help individuals master a trade or sharpen a specific skill set in preparation for a career.
Business & Economic Development
As communities become stronger through financial empowerment and job placement, incubating and launching small businesses is the next step in transforming economic welfare. Small business growth creates additional jobs and the opportunity for intentional discipleship.
We hope to be a part of transforming the economic welfare in our community. Our prayer is that God would go before us to stir hearts to invest (time, talents, and treasures) and that more than enough would be provided (Exodus 36:5). We ask you to pray about giving generously as the Lord allows. Process the decision with the biblical community the Lord has given you. The future vision is big, and the need is large as we match accelerated savings towards asset purchases, provide job connections to the un or under-employed, and accomplish our key initiatives.
