One-on-One Care (Stephen Ministry)
There is no need to struggle alone. Stephen Ministers are volunteers with 50 hours of training who provide weekly, confidential, distinctively Christian, one-on-one caring support and encouragement to anyone in our congregation or community who is going through a difficult time, a transition or crisis and is in need of support. This is not therapy nor physical/financial support but a listening ear and a prayer partner for emotional and spiritual support. Contact Monte Fisher (mfisher@menlo.church or 650.330.7516) to learn more. If you'd like to become a Stephen Minister please visit the serving opportunities page.

Prayer Requests
Please fill out our prayer requests form. During this COVID-19 crisis, we are praying for you. Our elders are gathering virtually three times a week to ask God to watch over you. The staff gathers online collectively each Wednesday and often in separate teams to pray. Our prayer teams are praying and someone is also available to call and pray with you personally.
