Know the Word.
Win the buzz.

Bible Bowl is a quiz competition where teams of students in grades 3–12 study a portion of the Bible for a season, practice weekly, and face off with buzzers at local events and national tournaments. It's a genuinely fun reason to dig into Scripture, and the students who come for the game leave knowing the Word. And they do it with other families who want the same thing for their kids.

Thinking about leading a team?

Starting a Bible Bowl program is easier than you'd think, and you don't need to be a Bible scholar to lead one. You can be a youth leader, teacher, or even a parent at the kitchen table.
