Student Life

What’s It Like at EC?

Our size and structure help to create a distinct community environment of fun, support, and security, which promotes deep, godly relationships with classmates as well as faculty and staff. We believe “campus life” is an essential element of your EC experience.  It is through community living that students learn what it means to be the Body of Christ, to live out the fruit of the Spirit, to “love your neighbor as yourself,” to build deep and lasting friendships, and to enjoy fully this life Christ has given us to live!

Don’t Miss The Beauty.

Ecclesia College is located in the middle of Northwest Arkansas, one of the fastest growing communities in the country.  The area commonly referred to as Northwest Arkansas is comprised of four cities Bentonville, Rogers, Springdale, and Fayetteville.  EC students are privileged to be right center of an incredibly diverse world community.  Internationals are flocking to the area largely due to the growing business district and warming hospitality. Northwest Arkansas is full of life, from the booming economy to the incredible landscape; NWA provides a diverse playground for Ecclesia students.  There is truly something for everyone.

Don’t Miss The Arts.

Northwest Arkansas is an ever-increasing center for the performing arts. The Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville draws in many NY Broadway shows, concerts, and solo performances by noted entertainers. The community is eagerly awaiting the opening of the Crystal Bridges American Art Museum. A project funded by the Walton Family.  The new museum is projected to have one of the most premier collections of American Art. Including pieces by acclaimed American painter Asher B. Durand, as well as Winslow Homer, Georgia O'Keeffe and Thomas Cole. The school is also very close to Eureka Springs, a hot spot for live entertainment. The town is also home to the world famous Passion play, depicting Christ’s death and resurrection.

Don’t Miss The Adventure.

While the city life and culture is exciting, the true heart of Northwest Arkansas is heard loudest amidst the illustrious Ozark Mountain landscape, Arkansas’ best kept secret.  EC students are just moments from sanctuary.   God’s breath can be felt hiking along the famous Buffalo River, or spelunking in one of thousands of caves in the area.  Whether taking a float trip down one of many beautiful rivers, fishing the best bass lakes in the US, or camping near Beaver Lake, the Great Outdoors of Northwest Arkansas provides exhilarating weekend escapes for many EC students.

Ecclesia students never have reason to be bored.  Incredible fellowship and community combine with the area’s incredible culture and breathtaking surroundings to produce a vibrant atmosphere for both growth and study.
