Gala | Commencement | Outreach | Conference
The EACU Commencement Experience is a dynamic, multi-part gathering designed to honor achievement, cultivate leadership, and extend impact beyond the moment. This experience brings together four powerful components: our Gala, Commencement Ceremony, Community Outreach, and Leadership Conference, each offering a unique opportunity to engage, celebrate, and grow. As you register, you will have the ability to select the experiences that align with your role, your presence, and your purpose.

Friday, November 6 | 7:00 PM CST | EACU Gala and Red-Carpet Experience
An evening to connect, celebrate, and build meaningful relationships.
Commencement Weekend begins with an elegant evening bringing together leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, ministry voices, authors, graduates, professionals, and friends of EACU. Guests will enjoy a formal red-carpet experience, dinner, guest speakers, awards and recognition, vendors, and intentional opportunities for networking and connection.
More than a celebration, the Gala is an opportunity to meet the people in the room. Introduce yourself. Exchange ideas. Discover new opportunities. Build relationships that may extend far beyond the weekend.

Saturday, November 7 | 10:00 AM CST | EACU Commencement Ceremony
Celebrating achievement. Honoring perseverance. Recognizing purpose.
Family, friends, faculty, and the EACU community will gather to celebrate those who have reached an important milestone in their journey. The ceremony will recognize individuals completing certification and degree programs, along with distinguished recipients receiving Honorary Doctorates. We invite family and friends to join us as we honor their accomplishments and celebrate this significant moment.
Saturday, November 7 | 7:00 PM CST | Rightly Divided Bible Study Conference
From Intimacy to the Deep Things of God. Go beyond listening. Become part of the conversation.
Rightly Divided is an interactive Bible Study Conference created for those who desire to explore Scripture beyond surface-level conversation. Throughout the evening, guest speakers will introduce thought-provoking biblical and theological discussions while giving attendees an opportunity to engage, ask questions, share perspectives, and participate in the conversation.
Bring your Bible. Bring your questions. Bring your willingness to examine, learn, and go deeper. And most of all, come comfortable. You don't have to know everything to enter the conversation. You simply have to be willing to engage.
Sunday, November 8 | Family and Friends Fellowship Day
Fellowship. Family. Fun. And an opportunity to give back.
We will close EACU Commencement Weekend by coming together for a relaxed day centered on community, connection, and service. Family and Friends Fellowship Day will include praise and worship, an interactive group game, fellowship, connection, and light food as we enjoy time together with our families, friends, graduates, and EACU community.
This year, EACU is also excited to partner with Together We Create 4 Kids (TWC4K) in a special collaborative give-back initiative. As we celebrate our own accomplishments throughout the weekend, we also want to be intentional about creating an opportunity to pour back into others and make an impact beyond ourselves.
Bring your family and friends, come comfortable, and prepare to participate as we close the weekend not only in fellowship, but also in service, generosity, and community impact.
