How will discipling youth through Bible Quiz help my church?
|
| Rod Whitlock, Assemblies of God Youth Discipleship Director, with the team from Cumming, GA! |
We have heard many stories about youth becoming passionate about God, going on AIM trips, giving to missions and impacting their schools for Christ. Families growing closer together as they focus on God's Word. Discipling youth through Bible Quiz also provides an opportunity for church members to serve as coaches, officials, prayer partners, and sponsors. Through Bible Quiz, the combined efforts of all volunteers lead to one mission: discipleship that helps youth to learn God's Word, live God's Word and quiz God's Word deep in their heart.
What training does Bible Quiz provide?
The Bible Quiz Retreat in August provides training sessions for leaders and coaches as well as for new, intermediate and advanced quizzers. To register, please contact the Bible Quiz Coordinator at dougbq@comcast.net or call 770-606-0493.
Who should I bring to the Bible Quiz Retreat?
Bible Quiz strongly recommends that four people from your church attend. You are the vision caster for others at your church. We have found that when pastors attend, this tends to accelerate the vision for Youth Discipleship through Bible Quiz within the church.
What if I have questions and need help during the season?
Your partnership with Bible Quiz Georgia continues all year. Partner Growth and Support teams are available to answer any of your questions. Just let us know how we can help. contact@biblequizgeorgia.com or call 478-405-5901.
When should I begin recruiting key leaders?
Begin recruiting as soon as possible so leaders can prayerfully consider their role. Your key leaders should attend the training sessions at the Annual Bible Quiz Retreat.
What are the costs associated with starting a Bible Quiz ministry?
- The first expense is sending members of your church to the training sessions at the Bible Quiz Retreat.
- The second expense is purchasing quiz equipment.
- The third expense is purchasing BQ materials such as scripture portions, questions, study helps and ministry resources.

What are the age groups for Bible Quiz?
Bible quiz is for youth grades 6 - 12. Coaches, officials and parents can also participate in the National Memory Awards and quiz other adults at National Finals in July. We have heard many stories of parents, coaches, and officials who were "just volunteering" being blessed by the discipleship aspects of Bible Quiz.
How many volunteers are needed?
Each team needs a coach and two officials per team at League meets. Parents and siblings often join in the fun of Bible Quiz helping as officials.
How long is the Bible Quiz season?
The season begins with the BQ Retreat in August and ends at District Finals in March, however, many teams start studying weekly when school starts. There are four League Meets, two in the fall and two in the spring. The year concludes with District Finals, the final state-wide event. The top 5 teams at District Finals advance to Regional Finals in May where the top 5 teams advance to National Finals in July. NOTE: GA also hosts optional tournaments: one in the fall and one in the spring.
