Watershed is a community, AWAKENING, STRUGGLING, and LOVING together as though a DIFFERENT WORLD is possible TODAY. Nevertheless is language chosen to articulate the incongruence between the realities of our day and the world we long for and envision Jesus to have longed for. A more just, compassionate and generous world in the here and now.

We believe Watershed is good and worth investing in.

EVERY WEEK, 200 to 300 people experience transformation through recovery environments like AA, SAA, and NA.

EVERY WEEK, local activists gather here to organize, to advocate for the rights of our neighbors, the poor, marginalized who are unjustly treated. 

EVERY WEEK, because Watershed exists, there exists an ongoing RESISTANCE to the falsity that some folks are disposable. That some folks don’t matter as much as others. 

EVERY WEEK, because Watershed exists, folks exiting abusive and manipulative forms of religion make the trek into safe and courageous gatherings or groups to reimagine life, community and faith.

EVERY WEEK, children and families are shaped by a more generous, just expression of faith and spirituality in the divine.

BECAUSE WATERSHED EXISTS, an entire people group in Manipur, India, ravaged by genocide, are finding relief and healing from PTSD due to intense tribal wars and genocide. 

It’s been yet another year of great joy but also great challenge. It takes $48,000 a month ($643,000 a year) for Watershed to innovate, thrive and advance. As the year comes to a close, would you consider helping close a $4,000 gap in our monthly giving?   

As we head into 2025, the work of locking arms so that Watershed can continue to animate hope, life and healing is both great and energizing. When something matters so much to so many, there’s something worth fighting and sacrificing for others and ourselves.. Will you join us!
