Bible Quizzing

---

 Bible Quizzing is an exciting and effective way to get teenagers to memorize the Bible. Teams compete against each other by “jumping” off a pressure-switch, and then have a chance to answer a question from certain verses out of the New Testament.  The  program uses positive competition and peer encouragement to motivate teens and pre-teens to memorize God’s Word, making this a truly unique ministry tool. 

 Bible Quizzing has been so successful because it incorporates fun, competition, teamwork, and fellowship with the sole purpose of strengthening a teenager’s faith and directing him or her to seek a more intimate and real relationship with God. We encourage coaches and other adults to take an active interest in the lives of the youth, discipling them into earnest followers of Christ. Because of the biblical foundation they build into their lives through memorization and study, Bible quizzers tend to become spiritual leaders among their peers.

As one quizzing mom put it, “Besides God Himself, there are only two things that are eternal: us and His Word.  When you put those together, it’s a very profound and powerful experience.”

•  “Bible Quizzing is really what has grounded my relationship with Christ. I am amazed in how many ways, and how many times God has used the scripture which I have memorized in a very profound way in my life… I love it!”

• “I think the competition honed the drive that pushes me to not be satisfied with a mediocre Christian life, but instead to work hard at getting to know God more.”

• “Through Bible Quizzing I have developed amazing relationships with strong Christian adults and teens and they have helped me be molded into a true servant of Christ.”

•  What Bible version do you use? Teens for Christ NW is part of the Bible Quiz Fellowship, which now uses the ESV (2011 edition). 
• What ages is it for?

 All students age 8-19

• How many quizzers are on a team? 

A full team has 7 quizzers.

• What is the time commitment?

 Teams practice every Tuesday from 6:15pm-8:15pm. All the teams come together one Saturday a month for competition, October-March.  Quizzers should expect to work on their own 3-5 hours a week to be competitive.

• Is there a cost? 

The cost for Sr. Quizzing is $50 and the cost for Jr. Quizzing is $40

•  Will Teens for Christ supply a coach?

 We offer the service of Bible Quizzing to churches and other groups as a tool to supplement your existing ministry. To that end, it works best if you have an adult from your ministry who can step into the coaching role. No experience is necessary to coach, just a willingness to take ownership and invest in students, and we can help train you on how to coach a Bible Quiz team. However, if you don’t have a full team, or if you don’t have an adult available to coach, don’t let that stop you! Let us know that you have students looking for team or coach, and we will help you find a place.
