Parenting Resources
We desire to equip parents to help nurture and raise children to be fully devoted disciples of Christ.
No matter your parenting life stage or the age of your child, you can find ministries, teaching, and biblical resources to train a child up in the way he should go (Proverbs 22:6).
The role of “parent” is a big one. Find encouragement, support, and equipping tools to help as you navigate this new season of life and discipleship.

The Prodigal
Support for Families of Prodigals
The Prodigal is a ministry to care for and support families of children and loved ones who are wandering from God.
Having a blended family can be both an amazing gift and a lot of work.
At Watermark, we want to see you and your blended family thrive. We help equip and encourage blended families as you pursue oneness with Christ, oneness in marriage, and oneness when it comes to shepherding your children.
What Is a Blended Family?
A blended family (or stepfamily) is created when two people come together in marriage and one (or both) of them has at least one child from a previous relationship. Blended families experience unique joys and complex challenges as each person navigates their new roles as a spouse, stepparent, or stepchild.
Help for Blended Families
If you would like to strengthen your marriage or need help navigating your blended family dynamic, check out these opportunities:
Blended Family Connections

re|engage
Every marriage has room for improvement. Re|engage is a safe place where you and your spouse can grow together, whether your marriage is struggling or you just want to take it from “good” to “great.”
