The school currently has over 675 students.[citation needed]

ECA's band and choir have also grown in recent years. Beyond the traditional arts, Evangel offers two spirit groups, twirlers and cheer teams for their elementary school and cheer for their high school, both competitive in their various divisions.[citation needed]
The ECA high school campus lies on approximately 100 acres (400,000 m2) in West Shreveport.[1] The high school campus is home to the "main" high school classrooms (divided into "A" and "B" wings with ten rooms on either side serving various purposes) including a library with over thirty-five Dell Dimension 3000 desktop computers (20 more of which that can be found in the computer lab), a main and student office, and a high school cafeteria with food service provided by the Sodexho food service company.[citation needed] These were original at the opening of the high school campus and were built by previous private schools. Further back in the campus are the "T" (temporary) buildings which were added in 1993 by founder Frances Duron to accommodate the growing number of middle and high school students enrolling in the school. The campus also includes one tennis court, one softball, baseball, and football field, and a large basketball gym (built in 1997).[citation needed] The campus is surrounded by woods on two sides and by homes on the other two sides. During the summers the campus is used for summer sports camps.[citation needed]
The elementary campus and Shreveport Community Church occupy approximately 33 acres (130,000 m2) just minutes from the high school campus and located next to I-20. The elementary has recently moved into a new space inside of the renovated church including a new auditorium tailored specifically for elementary school students, a two story indoor climbing playground, several new outdoor play spaces, a fully equipped computer lab, a cafe for parents, and new daycare facilities.[citation needed]
