Watermark

Main Entry: wa·ter·mark
Pronunciation: wt-r-märk, wät-
Function: noun
1 : a mark that shows the height to which water has risen
2 : a mark (as the maker's name or trademark) made in paper during manufacture and visible when the paper is held up to the light

A watermark is a symbol of authenticity. It sets it apart from the counterfeit (think of a watermark on money).

A watermark is also a mark showing the height to which water has risen in a flood or during high/low tide. The continual presence of water at a certain level leaves a mark long after it is gone.

Watermark is a community of believers at TSC that want to live lives of authenticity. We want to be known for our transparency, integrity and honesty of heart. We want to grow together into the image of Christ, but we want to allow others to be who they are and not ever pressure someone into being a counterfeit.

It is also our passion that long after we are gone, there will be evidence that will remain. There will be a watermark left by the people of Watermark and others will know that it's only because of God and His goodness that this evidence exists.

If you don't have any problems, Watermark is not for you. If you just want to pretend that everything is okay, Watermark is not for you. If you have a perfect family and adore your spouse all the time and never get frustrated with your kids, then Watermark is not for you. If you're content with where you are in your faith, then Watermark is not for you.

If however, you want to be with an authentic community of believers who talk about real problems and how God's Word brings solutions to those problems, then Watermark is for you. If you're not connected in a small group, then Watermark may be for you. The leadership of Watermark are real people with real problems who desire to be authentic and truly want to leave a mark on the next generation for the glory of God. Come check us out!

Watermark is a new class beginning on Sunday, February 12th at 11 am. We will meet in E217 which is upstairs in the Equipping Center of TSC. Teachers will be Derek and Jack C.
