Bible Quizzing is a game that is also a network of relationships, connecting teens from across church, state and even international lines, all centered on studying one chapter at a time through the text, testing their skills of quick recall -- living and loving and growing as they apply these words to their lives.
Quizzing is open to anyone from 4th to 12th grade -- no denominational (or even church) affiliation required. FMBQ is a ministry of the Free Methodist Church and operates under its principals, specifically regarding our view of scripture
The Bible is God’s written Word, uniquely inspired by the Holy Spirit. It bears unerring witness to Jesus Christ, the living Word. [...] it is the trustworthy record of God’s revelation, completely truthful in all it affirms. It has been faithfully preserved and proves itself true in human experience.
The Bible has authority over all human life. It teaches the truth about God, His creation, His people, His one and only Son and the destiny of humankind. It also teaches the way of salvation and the life of faith.
This year, we are offering two track with slightly different material:
Material does not need to be memorized, but the aim is to learn the content well enough to answer questions about it. This allows quizzers to operate without being penalized by having a different interpretive or theological background than someone else, but also giving them a solid background and foundation in the text itself.
Quiz rounds follow a basic quiz bowl format
Tournaments are generally held the second Saturday of each month from October - April. There are optional regional and national tournaments that take place in May and July.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Matthew 24:35
