Bible Quizzing
By Doug | February 8, 2009
Bible quizzing is a competitive means for teens to learn the Word of God. We have three teams at our church, Hampton Park Baptist, and we compete each month with about nine other ministries through the Piedmont Quizzing Association. Each team quizzes against two other teams in a month and then we have a tournament at the end of the year. Five teens make up a team. Each team sits facing the quizmaster who asks a question. The first person to stand has the opportunity to answer. An electronic device indicates who stood first. A quiz consists of 20 correctly answered questions. Quizzes can be very exciting and stressful for both the participants and the audience!
Joyce’s team, The Fishermen, were in 7th place going into the tournament. They did very well and took 2nd place! Auria answered many questions through the day. Both the coach and quizzers were very excited about it all!

Glad to hear you enjoy Bible quizzing. The youth at our church have a quiz group too, and it is a great way to study the Bible while having fun at the same time.
It is very motivating to study when you know God has something to say to you thru your chapter.
We just got back from our National tournament a few weeks ago and it was a spiritually uplifting, (as well as fun), time.

Well our church quizzing group is part of a larger city-wide group that sent a total of 9 teams to Nationals.
We had 3 of the top 6 teams, but we did not get 1st.
A team from WI took 1st. Their name is Clay.
We had teams that took 2nd, 3rd, 6th. we also had 6 other teams scattered in the rankings (there were 45 teams in all).
