Community Groups

Life is Better Together

Watermark Community seeks to guide every member to be known and loved, rooted in God’s Word, and committed to God’s Mission. Community groups play a vital role in helping relationships flourish in the life of the church. In community we are known, loved, cared for, pursued, encouraged, and challenged to be more like Christ.

At Watermark, we have married and men’s/women’s groups who meet on a regular basis to connect relationally, study God’s Word, and hold each other accountable. Our goal in community is to live out the “One Anothers” of Scripture, which are God’s instructions on how believers should live life together.

Joining a community group is part of the membership process. You can learn more about membership here or check your membership status.

Membership FAQ

What is my Membership status?

You can always view your progress in the Membership process by visiting your Membership Status page.

Can I be a member of Watermark if I don’t live in the area?

The word in the Bible that is translated as “church” literally means “assembly.” A church is a group of Christians who gather together regularly to love and serve each other as the body of Christ. If you live too far away to consistently gather as part of the body here at Watermark, we would strongly encourage you to find a Bible-believing church closer to your home and become a member there.

If you need assistance getting connected to a local church body close to your home, please contact us for assistance.

Can I be in a community group if I’m not a member of Watermark?

Hebrews 13:17 says that the Elders of a local church will be held accountable for the care of the souls within the church membership. Community groups are an important part of the way that our Elders shepherd the church body. So, we ask that anyone who is in a Watermark community group is also a member of Watermark and is therefore under the shepherding of the Elders.

Can I serve in a ministry that isn’t part of Watermark?

Yes! Watermark currently partners with multiple ministries in Dallas and around the globe. For more information about serving opportunities outside of Watermark, please email externalfocus@watermark.org.

How do I sign up to share my verbal testimony?

After you have completed Membership Class, you will be connected with a member of our church who will meet with you to listen to your story of grace. This person will reach out to you to schedule the meeting.

If more than a week has passed since you completed the Membership Class and you have not yet heard from anyone to schedule your testimony, please contact us.

Does Watermark have online Membership Class?

Because the word “church” means “assembly,” and membership involves being a part of the church body, we believe that attending class in person is the best way to get connected as a member. If your circumstances prevent you from being able to attend class in person, please contact us.

What do I have to believe to become a member?

We ask all members to affirm that they agree with our core doctrinal beliefs.
