Study the Book of John
What are you doing to get your youth into the Word—and beyond?
Teen Bible Quizzing is much more than a competition—it's a life-changing discipleship ministry that challenges students to know God's Word, hide it in their hearts, and live it out every day. Throughout the season, junior high and high school students study the Gospel of John, developing lifelong habits of Scripture reading, memorization, and Bible study while building lasting friendships with other teens from across our district.
Whether your church has an established youth ministry or just a handful of students, Bible Quizzing can work for you. Teams can be as small as one student, making this an excellent opportunity for churches of every size to invest in the spiritual growth of their teens. The focus isn't simply winning quizzes—it's helping young people discover truth, community, purpose, and a deeper relationship with Jesus.
Why Teen Bible Quizzing?
Teen Bible Quizzing helps students:
- Read Scripture consistently
- Memorize God's Word
- Develop strong Bible study habits
- Build lasting friendships with other Christian teens
- Grow in their faith and confidence
- Discover truth, community, and purpose
- Learn to apply God's Word to everyday life
By the end of the season, students won't just know more about the Gospel of John—they'll know Jesus more deeply.
