Who We Are
Our call is to feed the sheep. Whether the little lambs in our home, the people in our office, or a whole congregation, we are His ministers of reconciliation. To fulfill this calling we must be equipped. Evangel stands ready in this new century to equip the ministers that will usher in the Second Coming of Jesus!
ECUA's nontraditional study program enables active professionals, ministers, chaplains, missionaries, Bible teachers, counselors, educators, business people, and church administrators to continue in their present occupation while earning their degree. This is made possible by the concept of "the university without walls." Regardless of your age, sex, race, or denomination, we shall assist you in accomplishing your educational goals in a relatively short period of time. Our self-paced programs allow you to finish when you decide.
School History
In 1988 the founders reorganized Evangel into a Christian university. The school’s philosophy, objectives and programs were refocused to meet the needs of the twenty-first century adult learner. That same year Dr. Milton O. Peacock, a long time educator, became president.
In 1996 the university moved from leased facilities in downtown Monroe, moving into its own spacious facility north of town. This “breathing room,” led to much growth in Evangel’s educational opportunities. New programs were offered, and existing programs were retooled to meet the ever-changing needs of the body of Christ.
With a new century came new leadership. In 2000, Dr. Timothy G. Nance stepped up to the helm as ECUA’s new president. Dr. Nance had previously been Evangel’s academic dean for five years. Dr. Nance served Evangel well bringing much to Evangel's table until he went Home to be with the Lord on September 28, 2002. Subsequently, the Board has re-established Dr. Henry A. Harbuck as President/Chancellor.
