Bible Quiz
Junior High Bible Quiz is a fun and challenging way for 7th and 8th graders to dive into Scripture, learn more about the Bible, and memorize God’s Word.

Each spring, churches from across our denomination come together 4–5 times to compete in Bible Quiz. Students form teams, study together, travel together, and build friendships along the way. The combination of competition, teamwork, Scripture, and time together creates a really special community between students and adult leaders.And of course, there are plenty of memories made along the way that students will carry with them for years to come!

Join us for a Parent Informational meeting on Sunday, October 4th, right after the service in the Coffee Cafe. Our first Bible Quiz practice will be that evening from 5:00-6:00 pm in Friends Center.

Along the way, participants will discover what it means to live as apprentices of Jesus while growing in the Friends’ testimonies of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship.
