Our Mission
ZOE for Life!® is a pan‑Orthodox Christian ministry dedicated to supporting women in planned and unplanned pregnancies, strengthening families, and upholding the sanctity of life. We believe every woman is created in the image of God and deserves compassionate care, practical help, and hope for the future.
We connect women to counseling, housing resources, prenatal care, and other services they may not know are available. Our goal is to empower women to choose life with confidence and support.
Our Story
In 1997, a group of Orthodox Christian women in Cleveland felt called to respond to the needs of women facing planned and unplanned pregnancies. They founded ZOE for Life! to offer Christ‑centered compassion, practical assistance, and life‑affirming support.
In 2006, ZOE House® opened its doors, expanding the ministry to serve families with essential supplies. Today, ZOE for Life! continues to grow through volunteers, donors, and partnerships across the Orthodox Christian community.
ZOE for Life! is a pan-Orthodox outreach of Orthodox Christians. It is funded privately and has received 501(c)(3) status from the Internal Revenue Service. All gifts are tax-deductible as specified by law.
