Youth Bible Quizzing

Vision Statement

 "The vision of the Bible Quiz Team is to be a place to come and learn/memorize Scripture in a fun way and to help youth hide God's word in their hearts so that they can use God's word in their lives.  In years to come, youth will hopefully be able to stimulate other young people to memorize Scripture so that the gospel is spread down through the generations of the church.  Bible quizzing is a competitive program and youth are expected to attend weekly practices, work independently on Bible memorization and participate in competitive matches against other churches"* 

What is BIC quizzing about?

"Over 50 years of quizzing in the Brethren In Christ Church has inspired young people to study, memorize and absorb the Bible's truths.  Quizzing combines Scripture Memory, fast relexes and teamwork for a unique competitive program that continues to unite youth all across North America."

Quiz meets typically consist of five (5) to eight (8) twenty-question quizzes, with two teams of four (4) students competing against each other to be the first to "jump" from their seats to recite the verses they've memorized.  Each quiz consists of a set number of reference, memory, specialty, and interrogative questions on the book or books of the New Testament that have been selected for the current season."  There is a 8 year cycle of the books.

"In the early days of quizzing, teams relied on judges who had the nearly impossible task of determining who jumped first.  Although quizzers now use electronic equipment for this purpose, the goal of quizzing remains the same:  to facilitate Bible learning, healthy competition, and strong friendships between BIC young people across the US and Canada."
