A safe place to explore your faith.
Finding Jesus, Knowing Jesus, Showing Jesus.
Our vision at Watermarke Church is to help people FIND a personal relationship with Jesus, to help people KNOW Jesus better by growing deeper in that relationship, and to challenge people to SHOW Jesus to others in their lives.
Renovations are underway at our new building at 1680 Zion Road, Bellefonte, and we hope to move in soon! Meanwhile, we meet every Sunday at 10:00 am in the parking lot for an outdoor service. You’re invited to sit in your car and tune to our broadcast radio channel (106.9 FM), or bring a camping chair and join us in the assembly area in front of the stage. Due to internet limitations, we are no longer able to provide a livestream of our services on Facebook, but video will be available following each service on Facebook, Youtube and on this website.
Splash Sunday School will take place during the second half of the service at the designated canopies, and portable restrooms will be available for your convenience.
We hope you’ll join us this Sunday as we continue to worship together during our transition at Watermarke Church!

Acts of God: Faithful Through Adversity
Everyone will experience adversity in life. But the true test of the life of a Christ-follower is whether they will persevere through the adversity, or let it overcome them. Joseph’s life had plenty of adversity, but he shows us true character by how he dealt with it.
Acts of God: Faithful Under Temptation
Temptation can bring a special kind of pain and suffering. Sometimes we suffer because we give in and face the consequences of our sins. And sometimes we resist the temptation, but things are still difficult and we don’t always get the results we would like. Joseph is an example to us of how to stay faithful in the face of temptation, even when the blessings of doing so are not immediate.
Acts of God: Faithful Despite Betrayal
Many of us have experienced the pain of a dysfunctional upbringing, the betrayal of family or close friends, or the disappointment of unhealthy influences from our childhood. The example of Joseph helps us to understand how to be faithful to God despite those painful experiences.

Acts of God: The Problem of Pain
We begin our series called “Acts of God” with a question that, at one time or another, plagues our hearts. “If God is good, why is there so much suffering in the world?” It’s a tough question and there are no easy answers. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth exploring together.
