There is space for you at Zoē Oakland!

MEET PASTOR ERIC

Hi there! My name is Eric Johnson, and I am the director of Zoē Oakland and the advisor of our student organization at OU. I am a husband, father, pastor, and coach and am passionate about helping you become the best and truest version of yourself…the version God built you to become!

I love the chance to help students and young adults like you wrestle with the big questions of life and gain clarity about who you are, what you believe, and the life you want to build. I believe Jesus is the best guide and can help you overcome loneliness, isolation, guilt, fear, and whatever else holds you back.

At Zoē Oakland, we are committed to radical hospitality for ALL students and being space of community, inclusion, and faith formation for anyone looking for a place to belong.

💭 Feeling Stuck or Disconnected?

College can be confusing. Maybe you're unsure about your future, wondering what your purpose is, or just feeling disconnected. You might want to make a difference—but aren’t sure where to start. Zoē is here to help you discover the life you were built for through coaching, groups, and service opportunities.

🤝 A Different Kind of Campus Ministry

Not sure you’d fit into a Christian group? At Zoē Oakland, you don’t have to believe a certain way to belong. We welcome all students—doubters, dreamers, questioners, and curious hearts included.

✨ Spiritually Curious? Skeptical?

Wherever you are on your faith journey, there’s value in showing up, asking questions, and doing life with others. You weren’t made to do this alone. Jesus is already reaching out to you—with a life fuller than you imagined.
