What is the Muller Center?

The Muller Center is a teaching center emphasizing Bible-only studies in a variety of formats.

Why did we name the Center after George Muller?

George Muller (1805-1897) was a man who was used by God in a number of ways. His influence is felt even today, especially related to his views about faith and money. He fed and clothed over 10,000 orphans without asking anyone but God for the help. He trained many students all over Europe as well. He was a pastor and a missionary, traveling in his latter years to many countries of the world. Above all, he was a man of the Bible. He read the Bible four times a year for many years. Everything he did he sought to relate to God’s Word. His advice on meditation and Bible reading is legendary. We believe that his orientation to the truth in Scripture is a model of what we hope to engender in ourselves and in our students.

Where is the Muller Center located?

We do not have a building for our Center, but rather use our homes to teach the Bible and to engage others in probing the Bible for themselves. Our tutors at present are located in Kansas City, Missouri, USA.

Who are the tutors for the Muller Center?

Jim Elliff, Steve Burchett, Bryan Elliff and Kole Farney are the tutors at present for the Muller Center. You may find biographical information for them here.

What is required of Muller Center students?

The Muller Center provides classes on the Bible in a variety of formats, some short and some longer. For instance, we may offer a one night lecture, or a four session summer book study, or longer program during the fall or spring.

Muller students must be at least 18 years of age unless given special permission.

The student must obtain whatever maps, Bibles or marking pens required for the forum.

Students must be willing to devote whatever time is necessary for the study at home. In our longer forums, this may take as much as 8-10  hours a week. Other forums may require reading through a small book of the Bible each day (5x/week) for several weeks.

What is the cost for becoming a Muller student?

The only cost to the student is the purchase of the required materials.

What is the typical weekly schedule?

The students study the Bible on their own by reading and re-reading the Bible books assigned for each forum. The students are assigned other tasks when reading, such as marking with special pens, gathering personal insights to be shared with the forum, and memorizing lists and Bible portions. The group meets together in a home for an open session where the tutors train the students and engage them in discussions related to their reading.

How can I participate in overseas trips through the Muller Center?

Every few years the Muller Center may take an extended two-week study trip to Israel or Greece and Turkey. Our past trips have been in March or April using a study tour facilitated by Jerusalem University College. The experience, sights, geography, biblical history and fellowship have been amazing. These trips also serve the Muller Center in a critical way because they change how participants read the Bible.

During the sessions where a study tour is planned, all participants are required to participate in it, at their own cost. The Center remains free of charge, but airfare lodging and other expenses are paid by the student. We also are happy to have anyone join with our study tour group. You do not have to be a student to enjoy the trip with us. If you are interested in our next tour, please contact Steve Burchett at steve@ccwtoday.org.
