JBQ teams then compete with teams from other communities by answering the studied questions. There are 576 questions that quizzers study each week during the season, October through April. JBQ is a fun way for kids to learn God’s truths in the Bible. Junior Bible Quiz is offered for kids at New Life Christian Center.
Pastor John Corley, children’s pastor at New Life says, “I love JBQ. It is such a great way for children to learn the word of God in a fun and rewarding environment. It always amazes me the amount of scripture that these kids learn and are able to retain. We are very proud of all of our quizzers and coaches. As always … they did an incredible job.”
The A team will be going to Kent, Wash., May 1-3 for the Regional JBQ competition with the top teams from the Northwest Region.
