Northern Michigan District

Teen Bible Quizzing is back in Northern Michigan!

Once more, teens are getting the chance to study Scripture, compete, and grow together — one book at a time. This year: the Gospel of John.

Momentum is building.

These churches are already in the conversation:

...and counting. Is yours next?

New to quizzing? Here's what it is.

Teen Bible Quizzing is a season-long program where teens study a single book of the Bible in depth — this year, the Gospel of John — and put that knowledge to the test in fast-paced, buzzer-style quiz meets against teams from other churches.

It's part Bible study, part sport: teens memorize Scripture, learn to think on their feet, and compete as a team once a month through the season. It's genuinely fun to watch — quick reflexes, sharp recall, teams cheering each other on — and it builds something that lasts a lot longer than the season does: teens who know God's Word cold, and who did it together.

Upcoming Quiz Meets

Meets are planned for the 3rd Saturday of each month, August through June. Host churches and exact dates are still being confirmed — reach out below to help pin one down.

No teens yet? No leader? No experience?

There's still a place for your church.

Don't have a leader lined up?
We'll help you find one — or your teens can practice with the church next town over until you do.
No one's led quizzing before?
Good news — neither had most of last year's coaches. We'll train you.
Not sure you even have interested teens?
Ask them. You might be surprised — and even one or two teens can join with another church's team.

Whatever's in the way, chances are it's not a dead end. Let's talk it through.

How Your Church Can Get Involved

Every level of involvement helps — pick what fits.

1

Join, Support, or Host

Bring a team, sponsor a team, or host a monthly quiz meet at your church.

2

Start a Team

We need volunteer leaders willing to run a weekly practice. No quizzing background required — just a willingness to show up for your teens.

3

Serve as a Quiz Master

Have Teen Quizzing experience? We need adults who can help run and officiate monthly quiz meets across the district.
