Nearly 3,000 students gathered on the Quad outside GCU Arena on a warm, muggy Tuesday evening to be commissioned by University leaders during a solemn ceremony called Ignite. The candlelit event followed a 45-minute worship service in the Arena led by one of GCU's Chapel bands playing music that had everyone on their feet the entire time.
