What does Bible Quiz offer my family?
Bible Quiz offers a unique opportunity to connect with other like-minded families of faith. It also provides an opportunity for you to bond with your children while learning the Bible together. We have heard many stories from young adults about their fond memories of their Bible quiz experiences as a family.
What does Bible Quiz offer my son/daughter?
Bible Quiz offers youth a chance to travel all over the country! They get to stay in hotels, meet new friends, have fun, and build long-lasting relationships. While quizzing, they learn how to work as a team while competing against some of the top young people in the nation. And most importantly, they learn God's Word and develop a deeper relationship with Him.
What age group is Bible Quiz for?
Bible quiz is for youth grades 6 - 12. However, coaches, officials and parents can also participate in the National Memory Awards and quiz other adults at National Finals in July.
How much does it cost?
A church sponsoring a Bible Quiz program may charge what they deem appropriate. Typical expenses for families are attending the annual Bible Quiz Retreat and any travel and lodging expenses related to quizzing events. Churches often choose to pay quiz meet registration fees and provide scripture portions for their quizzers. Check with your local teams for details.
How much of a time commitment is this on our family?
For quizzers, about thirty minutes of study per day is all that's required to get started. Teams usually meet once a week for about 2 hours. 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.
What can I expect from coaches in Bible Quiz?
Bible quiz understands that for most participants and their families, the difference between a good and bad experience is the coach. Bible Quiz coaches are encouraged to see every child as a winner and bring out the best in each one. Their success is not determined by wins and losses but how they convey the love of Christ to each participant. Coaches uphold values such as a Christ-like attitude and lifestyle which serve as an example to participants.
In other groups my child has joined, they didn't always get to participate very often. How is Bible Quiz different?
Bible Quiz is very participant friendly with tons of opportunities to learn and grow in quiz. Youth get lots of time on the buzzers during practice and at league meets. Every child has a chance to advance in quiz.

How can I get involved?
Parents can help at weekly practices and as officials at league meets. Two officials are required per team and training is provided. When families are involved, quizzers tend to advance more quickly and grow closer together.
