After an investigation by a 3rd party, no evidence of wrongdoing was found. Ortberg returned to the pulpit on March 7, 2020. The church announced his resignation on July 29, 2020, citing broken trust and “poor judgment” in decisions to allow his son, Ortberg III, to continue to volunteer with students at the church after learning of his attraction to minors.On October 27, 2020, Menlo Church named John Crosby as its Transitional Pastor.
