ABOUT

Progressive Christian Life on Campus

bread belonging boulder.png

Zoe is a global progressive Christian student ministry network founded by Progressive Christians Uniting. At Zoe, students build meaningful lives together, drawing from a progressive and ecumenical Christian tradition.  Zoe is a lively network of networks: bringing together - online and in person - students and campus ministry leaders from many Christian denominations and groups.

In the Bible, the Greek word Zoe means the kind of life that Jesus invites us to live. To us, Zoe represents deep aliveness, walking with each other through life, living in community and fellowship with one another, being conscious and in tune with ourselves and the natural world, and loving God and life together. 

By calling a theologically and socially progressive ministry Zoe, we are making the bold claim that the kind of life celebrated by Jesus is inherently a progressive one. 

Zoe evokes Jesus’ habit of welcoming surprising people to discover abundant life around a meal and good conversation. It suggests welcome, fun, connection, challenge, and nourishment.  Zoe is dedicated to rediscovering the Christian faith as a world-changing movement of inspired young adults.
