Senior Doctrinal Defense 2025
Theological training isn’t just about acquiring knowledge—it’s about preparing for a lifetime of faithful ministry. For Master of Divinity students at Central Seminary, one of the final steps in that preparation is the Senior Doctrinal Defense, where they articulate and defend their theological convictions before the faculty.
The Senior Seminar course prepares the student for their oral doctrinal defense. This week, three seniors—Brandon Carmichael, Justin Gilbert, and Brent Marshall—successfully completed this rigorous process. Each of these men is serving faithfully in their local church and have the opportunity to apply their studies every week.
