This week we focus on the 2024 Election to ask questions from both sides of the political aisle, talking about the dangers of too much trust in figures outside of Jesus, and start with an update from out Hope for Everyone Campaign. Text us at (650) 600-0402.

In today’s message, we explore the timely and crucial topic of faith in a divided world. With political tensions high, it’s easy to let our views overshadow our unity in Christ. Join us live as we uncover how Jesus calls us to respond with humility, love, and a focus on God’s Kingdom above politics. Through this sermon, we’ll dive into Philippians 2 and examine the importance of seeing each other’s needs, practicing empathy, and keeping our allegiance rooted in faith, not in politics.

This week we chat how to be a good neighbor, jingles, marketing, and get to know our Executive Pastor of Ministries Jevon Washington a little bit better! Text Us: (650)600-0402

In this message, Executive Pastor Jevon Washington challenges us to break down barriers and become true neighbors in a world that often prioritizes division over compassion. Through the powerful parable of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37, alongside passages from Romans 13:8-10 and Galatians 6:2, we explore what it means to extend grace, love, and empathy across boundaries that might otherwise keep us apart.

This week we chat Halloween, get to know our new Executive Pastor of Ministries, and kick off our For the Bay series. Text Us: (650)600-0402

Churches are often known more for what they are against rather than what they are for. We want to change that. In this series, we will discover the practical ways that we are constantly investing as a community through partnerships and programs. We will also provide opportunities to get involved practically and personally through those partners to make a difference.

This week we dive into baptism asking questions like: What is it about dunking someone in water that can be so transformational? Is baptism the same now as it was in the Bible? What was one of your all time favorite gifts you have received? Text Us: (650)600-0402

Welcome to one of our favorite weekends at Menlo Church—Baptism Weekend! Moving our faith from a personal decision to a public commitment can be very difficult but it doesn’t have to be. On this special Sunday, we will offer you a chance to go public with your faith through baptism. Personal faith brings you into the kingdom, but public faith brings the kingdom into a world that desperately needs it. We’re celebrating across all campuses as people publicly declare their faith in Jesus through baptism. 🎉 In this message, we dive into Acts 16:25-34, where Paul and Silas are unjustly imprisoned, yet their faith remains unshaken. Their public worship in the face of suffering becomes a powerful witness to those around them, leading to an unexpected transformation—the salvation of their jailer and his entire household. If you’ve been following Jesus but haven’t yet been baptized, this might be your moment! Join us as we explore how God can use your faith to impact others and bring the hope of Heaven into everyday life.

We wrap up our Hope for Everyone series and discus if we actually finished or just got started, talk about Jesus flipping tables and look ahead to Baptism Sunday! Text Us: (650)6700-0402
