Common Questions
Everyone's got questions. Here are a few common ones.
What is membership?
Members are those who commit to making Menlo their faith community for learning, worship, service, and generosity. Membership is when church goes from being “them” to being “us.” As a member of Menlo Church, we ask you to commit to: being a disciple of Jesus, attending weekend services, joining a life group, serving faithfully and giving generously.
How do I become a member?
To make Menlo Church your home church through
membership, simply participate in Starting Point
sessions, and read through the Membership Guide which
includes details about what we believe, membership
requirements & benefits, and some frequently asked
questions about our church.

How is Menlo structured?
Our staff are overseen by our Leadership Team (LT), who represent five broad areas: Campuses, Discipleship, Worship and Communications, Finance and Ops, and People. The LT reports to our senior pastor who in turn is accountable to our Session, the church’s governing board. Session is comprised of men and women (a.k.a. elders) who are elected by the congregation to provide spiritual and operational oversight of all our ministries and mission.
