Bible Quiz is a test of your knowledge of the Bible. Two teams of three quizzers each face a series of twenty questions with varying difficulty. The first contestant to "buzz in" and answer the question correctly gains points for his or her team; if the contestant answers incorrectly, the team loses points.  Quizzers cover a different portion of the New Testament (New International Version) each season. The theme rotates every eight years and includes three of the four Gospels, the book of Acts, and various groups of the Epistles. Bible Quiz requires more than just the ability to recite Scripture. Players must also learn people and places mentioned and become familiar with exclamations, questions, parenthetical statements, Old Testament passages, and more.

Who can quiz?
Teens in grades seven through twelve who attend an Assemblies of God church may participate in Bible Quiz. (Some districts allow 6th graders.) Each team may have up to six members. Your church may have as many teams as you like.

When are the matches?
Each district schedules its own matches (roughly 4-5 times a year). Competition usually starts in October or early November. The season ends with district playoffs—which determine the teams who will move on to one of eight regional tournaments. Five teams from each region advance to the annual Bible Quiz National Finals.

What about scholarships?
Over the years, nearly all colleges and Bible schools affiliated with the Assemblies of God have offered scholarships to top quizzers and teams. Currently, these scholarships range from $200 for each member of a district runner-up team to full four-year scholarships for the top individual quizzer at National Finals. Additional scholarships are given by the National Bible Quiz Department at National Finals.

How do I get started?
