Bible Quizzing

Welcome to NWYM Bible Quizzing!

Bible Quizzing is in the process of program review and restructuring. Check back mid-2025 for new program information.

Bible Quizzing has been a vital part of our ministry to youth in NWYM. It began in 1988 with a pilot program involving three churches. Since that time, enthusiasm for the program has continued.

Bible Quizzing has not just been about competition, but an effective tool for learning the Bible. A quizzer must have good knowledge and understanding of the passages being studied in order to quiz well. In fact, most quizzers memorized large portions of the year’s book or books. This required consistent time in Bible study and just as the Bible describes itself as the “living Word,” the youth who commitedt that Word to memory found it became a very valuable resource they could take wherever they went.

The program involved four tournaments taking place across the Northwest. Tournaments narrowed competition to three teams and individual high scorers. Teams quizzed on their knowledge of one or more books of the Bible throughout the four tournaments. Bible Quizzing encouraged study and memorization, as well as fellowship and friendly competition. Bible Quizzing was highly adaptable for large or small churches and was a fantastic way to bring youth together.
