Watermark is a new program developed by the Diocese of Spokane with a focus on giving the next generation of Christian leaders an opportunity both to shape and be shaped by ministry at both the local and diocesan levels. Through work placements in local congregations, the community and the diocese interns will be given the task of identifying local needs and mobilizing congregational and diocesan resources in order to construct a compelling witness to the Gospel. This program will develop and teach them how to serve as leaders in their churches, dioceses and local communities.
