Memorial Church & Companion Spaces
Stanford Memorial Church stands at the center of the campus, and is the University's architectural crown jewel. It was one of the earliest, and is still, among the most prominent churches in the West. As part of our spaces on campus, we also offer the CIRCLE Multi-Faith Center and the Windhover Companion Center.

Make a Gift
The Office for Religious & Spiritual Life (ORSL) welcomes financial gifts from alumni, parents, friends, foundations, and organizations who would like to support Memorial Church as well as programs and activities across campus that help guide, nurture and enhance spiritual, religious and ethical life within the Stanford University community.
ORSL is a vital part of the University and the Deans for Religious & Spiritual Life aim to promote enriching dialogue, meaningful ritual, and enduring friendships among people of all religious backgrounds. The areas of greatest need encompass support for student programs as well as discretionary funds for the Dean for Religious & Spiritual Life. Your support in these areas will help Stanford accomplish its mission to nurture spiritual, religious, and ethical life on campus.
