How It Started

For years, a group of Watermark Members have been present and engaged in the South Dallas community. In 2019, after much involvement and prayer, God provided a way for His body to acquire the historic Pearl C. Anderson Middle School building. Like the other campuses that have grown from Watermark, there has been both a prompting and desire for many to fellowship and serve alongside brothers and sisters in the surrounding area. Starting in the summer of 2020, a small group has been regularly meeting together for the purposes of praying, worshipping, and asking what the Lord might have for His church around this location. With the first phase of building renovations complete, we are beginning to gather regularly, in-person on Sundays. We are trusting Jesus with our next steps and eager for all the Lord has in store for those gathering at 3400 Garden Lane.

Where It’s Going

We desire to be a local church comprised of neighbors in our community for the transformation of South Dallas to the glory of God. We are not planted in South Dallas to simply serve at specific times each week but to live as neighbors and co-laborers, knowing and loving our community as we know and love our Creator. Our approach to starting this church is not built around programs or corporate gatherings. It’s built around relationships.

Ways to Pray

Please pray that:

• like Jesus Himself, we would grow in wisdom and in favor with God and men (Luke 2:52).
• we will love and care for our community, being delighted to share not only the gospel of God but our whole lives as well (1 Thess 2:8).
• we will devote ourselves to Scripture, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42).
• in all we do, in word and deed, we would do it in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father though Him (Col 3:16).
• the ongoing presence of the body of Christ in this community would bring about freedom and transformation to many (Isaiah 61:1-2).
