BIBLE QUIZZING

Welcome to St. Albert Bible Quizzing!

Bible Quizzing is a Bible memorization program that has church teams from across Alberta memorizing God's Word in a friendly yet competitive way.

Quizzing Material

This year we are studying and memorizing from 1 and 2 Corinthians, using the NIV 2011 translation.

There is an eight year rotation as follows: 1 & 2 Corinthians; John; Hebrews/1&2 Peter; Matthew; Romans/James; Acts; Galatians/Ephesians/Philippians/Colossians; Luke.

Quizzers may choose how many verses to memorize.

The District we compete in officially recognizes the following Clubs:

  • Club 50: memorize 50 assigned verses.
  • Club 100: memorize 100 assigned verses.
  • Club 150: memorize 150 assigned verses.
  • Club 300: memorize 300 assigned verses.
  • Club Text: memorize the entire text.

No matter how many verses quizzers memorize, quizzers are encouraged to read and study all the material to understand the context of the verses they memorize.
