Todd Wagner
Founder | Watermark Community Church
Todd Wagner and a small group of friends established Watermark Community Church in Dallas, Texas in November 1999. Watermark was born out of a desire to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Todd serves as Senior Pastor and Elder at Watermark, which has become one of the largest and fastest-growing churches in the United States. Watermark is also home to The Porch, one of the largest ministries to young adults in the country, as well as the Church Leaders Conference, which exists to encourage and challenge other leaders and faith communities with God’s vision for His Church.
Under Todd’s leadership, Watermark was recognized as the “Best Places to Work” in Dallas-Fort Worth by The Dallas Morning News in 2019. Out of conviction, Watermark has operated debt free since its inception.
Todd is the author of Come and See: Everything You Ever Wanted in the One Place You Would Never Look. He has been a keynote speaker at national and international leadership conferences and a guest contributor to The Dallas Morning News and other media outlets. His weekly video podcast, “Real Truth Real Quick” reaches tens of thousands of people each month.
Todd and his wife, Alex, alongside their six children and grandchildren, love to live, laugh, and serve together in Dallas, Texas.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO FAITH DRIVEN ENTREPRENEUR
In times of crisis, the world needs steady people who are strengthened by God’s grace and selfless by God’s power. Worry accomplishes nothing except weakness of heart and head. It’s been said that 90 percent of the things we worry or become panicked about never happen, and the other 10 percent are outside our control. Remind yourself continually: it takes the same amount of energy to worry as to pray. One leads to peace, the other to panic. Choose wisely.
