Connections

This team creates a welcoming environment and a place of belonging for the community on all our campuses. We have a variety of places to serve, including greeting people when they arrive, serving coffee, hosting chat online, and more!

Students

We exist to help middle and high school students find and follow Jesus for a lifetime. This is done in the context of community and relationship. With strong relationships with adults beyond their family have been proven to have a lasting spiritual impact on teens. You can be one of those adults who makes an eternal difference in the life of a student.

Be a part of the team that makes services happen! Whether you are a creative who loves shaping the way worship looks to an audience or a technical-minded person who is laser-focused and loves to execute, we have a place for you!

Worship

Do you love to sing or play an instrument? Help us create an environment where people can encounter God each weekend.

Media

Put the creative gifts God has given you to work to further the name of Jesus at Menlo. There are opportunities in photography, videography, graphic design, and social media.

Lead a group

Following Jesus is the path to life and we believe this happens best in community. The bonus to leadership: We grow in our own relationship with Jesus when we lead. We prepare differently, we show up differently, and we pray as we've never prayed before.

Facilities + Maintenance

With 135,000 square feet of buildings and acres of land to steward, we always have preventive maintenance and repair projects which could benefit from your skill and passion.

Setup and teardown

Our Set Up + Tear Down teams serve behind-the-scenes to create a welcoming environment for our community before they even enter the worship service. This includes setting up chairs, tables, signage, check-in stations, etc.

Memorial + Hospitality

If you have the gifts of hospitality and serving and a heart for helping grieving families, this is the team for you. The team is responsible for receptions following memorial services for Menlo Church members and friends, and for people outside the church.

One-to-one support

Do you have a heart for those who are hurting? Are you a good listener? Do you have time in your life to meet regularly with someone and walk with them through a difficult time? Stephen Ministry is a church wide caring ministry that provides training to people in our congregation so they can provide distinctively Christian, one-to-one care to those who are experiencing all kinds of life needs.

Disability + inclusion

Are you passionate about making church accessible to everyone? We would love for you to join the Disability & Inclusion Team which supports individuals of all ages affected by disabilities.

Prayer

Do you want to be a blessing to someone hurting or anxious as you help them invite God into their situation? Provide one-to-one prayer after each worship service, either onsite or online. Be a part of our email prayer ministry and receive emails to pray over at your convenience.
