ZOE Progressive Christian Life On Campus is a global, student-led network of progressive Christian communities committed to spiritual exploration, radical inclusion, and social justice.

We are a global, progressive Christian student fellowship of college and university students and campus ministry leaders seeking spiritual exploration, intellectual engagement, and inclusion—challenging stereotypes that all campus Christians are conservative, anti‑LGBTQ+, anti‑science, or anti-choice. 

We are LGBTQ+‑affirming, socially engaged, and have an interfaith in orientation.  ZOE is committed to radical belonging and justice, ZOE works in solidarity with marginalized communities, promotes environmental stewardship, and supports interfaith collaboration and learning from diverse sources of wisdom—including secular sciences and activism. 

We are student‑led and network supported. Students are encouraged to form ZOE Pods—small groups on or across campuses—for fellowship, contemplative practice, worship, study, and activism. ZOE offers mentorship, programming resources, and inter‑pod connection and support. 

We are founded and coordinated by Progressive Christians Uniting. ZOE is the flagship initiative of Progressive Christians Uniting (PCU), a nonprofit active over 25 years in environmental, racial, LGBTQI+, and economic justice. Key founders include Brian McLaren, Jim Burklo, and Jessica Wang, while oversight comes from a volunteer leadership structure.
