About Zoe Church LA

Zoe Church LA was born out of a vision to create a community of hope, faith, and love in Los Angeles. In 2014, founders Chad and Julia Veach felt a divine calling to leave Seattle, Washington, and move to the vibrant city of LA to start something new. With just two kids in tow (later becoming four), they began a remarkable journey of building a church from the ground up. Starting in their living room with only 11 people, Zoe Church LA has since blossomed into a thriving congregation. This dream was fueled by the belief that Los Angeles is not too far gone and that faith can transform lives and landscapes.

Early Challenges and Rapid Growth

The early days of Zoe Church LA were filled with faith and perseverance. From hosting gatherings in their home to meeting in over 40 temporary locations, the determination to share the message of abundant life in Jesus never wavered. By August 2015, Zoe Church LA held its official launch at One Oak on Sunset Boulevard, drawing crowds so large that the venue could no longer accommodate them. This marked the beginning of a season of rapid growth, leading the church to secure the iconic El Rey Theater as its home for four fruitful years. The journey was anything but smooth, but each challenge was met with unwavering faith and community support.

A Season of Testing

In March 2020, the global pandemic forced Zoe Church LA to halt in-person services, marking an unprecedented challenge for the church. For 17 months, traditional gatherings were impossible, and the team faced difficulties finding venues willing to host them. Despite these obstacles, the church leaned on partnerships with other local congregations and remained steadfast in its mission. When in-person services resumed at the Million Dollar Theater and later the Miguel Contreras Learning Complex, the team focused on rebuilding and reigniting their community’s faith. This period of testing strengthened Zoe Church LA’s resolve and deepened its impact.

Expanding the Mission of Zoe Church LA

Zoe Church LA has grown into more than just a local congregation; it has become a movement. Over the years, the church has launched conferences, a college, a valley location, and an east location, with Miguel Contreras later becoming its main hub. Ministries, merchandise, and tours became avenues to share their message of hope far and wide. In 2022, Zoe Church LA celebrated a major milestone by acquiring its first permanent home in Highland Park, solidifying its presence in the city. Each step has been a testament to the church’s faith and its commitment to serving the people of Los Angeles.

Looking Ahead with Faith

As Zoe Church LA enters its ninth year, the community stands on the brink of a new season of completion and promise. The past years of abundance and testing have prepared them for what lies ahead. With a focus on building strong foundations and fostering a spirit of faith, Zoe Church LA continues to believe that the best is yet to come. Guided by the message of hope and the unwavering power of community, the church remains committed to its mission: to love the people of LA and point them to the life-changing power of Jesus. The gates of hell will not prevail against the faith and unity of Zoe Church LA.

Conclusion: The Heart of Zoe Church LA

Zoe Church LA is more than a building or an organization; it is a family. Its journey is one of resilience, growth, and unshakable faith in God’s plan. Through trials and triumphs, Zoe Church LA has never lost sight of its vision: to bring hope and encouragement to a city that needs it. The story of Zoe Church LA is a reminder that when faith and action meet, the impossible becomes possible. Year nine is just the beginning of an extraordinary new chapter, and the church remains excited to see what God will do next.
