Meet A Graduate: Brad Lenzner (M.Div., 2007)
When I first came to visit the Westminster Seminary California (WSC)
campus I did not know what to expect. What are the professors
like? How diverse is the student body? Is it a stuffy or a
gracious place? Just what kind of Christians are the people at
this seminary?
As I toured the campus and met some of the students and
professors, I quickly realized that there was something peculiar
about this place. I saw right away that a vibrant, Christ-filled
atmosphere existed amongst the faculty and students. The people
I met were genuine and down to earth. I don’t think I could have
had a more positive first impression. I eagerly enrolled for
classes.
My first impression was accurate. Throughout my time at WSC, I
greatly benefited from the Christ-centered, pastoral qualities
of the entire faculty. I had many opportunities to eat and
fellowship with a number of my professors. When I had questions
or needed further explanation of lecture material, they were
easy to find and even eager to help me. Some of my best memories
are conversations with Dr. Bryan Estelle and other students
after class. (My classmates were just as awesome as the
professors.) Those conversations were filled with profound
insights that have to this day helped me to minister God’s Word
to his people.
I came to WSC because I wanted to learn more about Jesus Christ
through the Scriptures and how to preach his gospel to the
world. I am so thankful to the Lord because that is exactly what
I gained from WSC! The Word of God came alive to me through the
teaching of my professors, and Christ was clearly the center of
each course. WSC has also taught me to appreciate the Reformed
creeds and confessions—their usefulness for teaching about the
faith and for understanding biblical doctrine. Not only was my
understanding of the Bible expanded and revolutionized, my
personal life was transformed as well. I have formed
relationships with people at WSC who will no doubt point me to
Christ for a lifetime.
By the grace of God I can confidently say that I know Jesus
better and have been given the necessary tools to preach his
name from all the Scriptures to the nations because of the
Lord’s work in me and many others through the faculty and staff
of Westminster Seminary California.
