About the course

Müllers resources ministry through the Scripture, Theology & Culture (STC) course. This course, which has been running for over 20 years, is an opportunity to cultivate deep theological roots, thereby developing more fruitful lives.

Throughout the course, we seek to Encounter Jesus, Examine the Bible, Explore Theology, Evaluate Presuppositions and Engage with Culture. 

The course aims to feed the heart as well as the mind, so each day starts with a time of worship and prayer before the teaching, which is delivered by Müllers' staff and qualified practitioners from the Bristol region.

We aim to maintain an academic rigour while being interactive and participative in teaching style. There is also the opportunity to receive an accreditation certificate in Scripture, Theology and Culture at either Level 3 or Level 4. The course is free, and open to all, regardless of their prior educational achievement.

STC Taster Days

Are you interested in studying theology but not sure if it’s for you?

Müllers’ free Scripture, Theology and Culture course would love to see you at one of our taster days where you can meet our current students, the team who run the course, and find out what to expect for a day of teaching.

  • I am loving the Müllers Theology course. I feel that God is using this study to equip me for years to come and have felt much more confident in discussing topics such as women in ministry and life after death etc. It has also become a prayerful and loving community, constantly reminding me that ours is the God of love and hope.

  • I have loved my time on the course so far - it is definitely the best day of my week! I have found it so interesting, stimulating and thought provoking and it has been a brilliant opportunity to think more deeply about my faith. It has been so helpful for growing my knowledge, understanding and faith.

  • It’s been a safe place to explore new ideas and thinking and to wrestle with tricky subjects. I feel that I am now better equipped to understand the bible and to see what God is saying.
