 What does a Quizzer do? 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? Individual matches are held once a month from October to March, (with the exception of December) for Senior teen. State competition is usually held the same weekend as Fine Arts, which is the last weekend of March. (see calendar for dates and places) 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.
