Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• Church Community Builder: Church Community Builder is a church management and small-groups platform used by churches for group coordination. It is adjacent to Watermark's small-groups ministries (e.g., Foundation Groups, Re|engage small groups) but is a software vendor rather than a curriculum/discipleship provider.

Broad incumbents

• Pushpay (Ministry Brands): Pushpay (now part of Ministry Brands) provides church giving, engagement, and management software. It serves the same church-buyer audience but focuses on operational software rather than discipleship content, making it a broad incumbent rather than a direct curriculum peer.
• Subsplash: Subsplash is a church engagement platform offering apps, giving, and media delivery for churches. It overlaps with Watermark's role as a content-and-engagement provider to churches, though Watermark specializes in discipleship curriculum rather than app infrastructure.
• Faithlife (Logos Bible Software): Faithlife operates Logos Bible Software and a broader ecosystem of faith-based tools for individuals and churches. While broader than discipleship curriculum, it overlaps in serving church leaders and faith-based content delivery.

Direct peers

• Elevation Church Resources: Elevation Church, Steven Furtick's North Carolina megachurch, has packaged ministry resources, conferences, and content for other churches and leaders. It overlaps with Watermark's podcast, conference, and ministry-content offerings.
• Orange (formerly reThink Group): Orange provides church curriculum and ministry strategy resources, especially for next-generation ministry (kids, students, family). It is a direct competitor in the turnkey discipleship curriculum category, selling to the same church-leader buyer.
• North Point Ministries (North Point Resources / Church Pipeline): North Point Ministries, Andy Stanley's Atlanta-based megachurch network, has historically packaged and distributed its leadership and discipleship resources to other churches. It mirrors Watermark Resources' model of a large church creating turnkey ministry resources for adoption by other congregations.
• Church of the Highlands (Resources / Grow Ministry): Church of the Highlands is a large Alabama megachurch that develops and disseminates its own discipleship, recovery (The Landing), and small-group resources to other churches. It mirrors Watermark's megachurch-to-church resource-distribution model.
• Life.Church (Church Online Platform / Open Resources): Life.Church develops open church resources including the YouVersion Bible app, Church Online Platform, and free ministry curriculum. It competes for the same church-leader audience and shares Watermark's strategy of offering resources free to churches.
• RightNow Media: RightNow Media is a video streaming library of Bible study and ministry content used by thousands of churches for small groups and discipleship. It competes for the same church-training and discipleship-content budget as Watermark Resources' curriculum suite.
