Birdie Alexander Elementary A bus full of families from Watermark descended on Birdie Alexander Elementary School in South Dallas to meet some of its needs and share the love of Christ through painting, scrubbing hall bathrooms, and cleaning classrooms.

Join us on Sunday, May 2, as the entire Watermark family and other area churches gather to love and serve people throughout our city on Service Day 2010! On May 2, instead of meeting for our regular time of worship, we’ll hop aboard buses at the Watermark campus and serve from 9 am – [...]
My roommate, Sarah and I are a CARES team at an Apartment Community close to Love Field. The more we open up our home and our lives, the more fruit we’ve seen! It’s been humbling and remarkable to see what the Lord can do when we open up Scripture and live the way we’re called [...]

Suzanne Griffin, the Director of Brother Bill’s Helping Hand, had this to say: The gift Brother Bill’s Helping Hand received this morning from Watermark Community Church was amazing! I [...]
GLOW was a great success. It was such a blessing to see 70 women from the Nexus Recovery Center literally “transformed” throughout the day! One of the greatest statements that floated around was that these women were being given an “outward” makeover that reflected their “inner” makeover as they recovered from difficult life situtations. About 75 [...]
