Watermark Community Church is a nondenominational evangelical Christian megachurch based in Dallas, Texas.[1]
Watermark was founded in November 7, 1999 with an outward-focused ministry that sought to minister to "the unchurched, dechurched, dead-churched and unmoved."[2]
Watermark averages about 11,000 weekly attendants at the three campuses (Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Plano,) making it one of the 50 largest churches in the United States [1]. The Porch is a weekly young adult service that attracts between 3,000 and 4,000 attendants each Tuesday night.
Watermark's Senior Pastor is Todd Wagner, who is also the founder of the church.[3]
Church properties
Watermark Community Church maintains three separate campuses across the Dallas Metroplex. These include the Plano, Fort Worth, and Dallas campuses. Services are normally broadcast to the satellite campuses from the main campus, where they are shown on large screens to congregants.
In 2014 Todd Wagner made a public announcement that the church was looking to expand to Plano.[4] He further stated that the property they wished to purchase would cost $9.5 million.[4]
In 2015 it was announced that Watermark had the opportunity to purchase the second of two tower blocks adjacent to the main campus.[5] The purchase was to be for $19 million, with $15 million needed as of October 10, 2015.[5] As of 2016, Watermark has purchased an 8 year lease with plans to purchase the tower after the lease expires.
As of 2015[update] the Dallas Campus property was valued at $69.8 million.[6] The Plano campus was valued at $7.5 million.[7]
