Bible Bowl and
Beginner Bible Bowl

Welcome to Bible Bowl!
Bible Bowl is a ministry for youth in grades 6 to 12 which combines Bible study with
Christian competition and fellowship. There is also a separate division for children in
grades 3 to 5 called Beginner Bible Bowl. The purpose of Bible Bowl is to give youth a
firm foundation for their faith through a systematic study, memorization and application
of Scripture. Each session a designated portion of Scripture is chosen as the study
text. Beginner Bible Bowl teams learn 400 core questions and a designated portion of
Scripture. Weekly practices consist of learning and applying the designated text,
devotions, quizzing, plus lots of fun and fellowship. From September through May, local
competition is held monthly. Teams of 3 to 6 players compete with other churches,
Christian schools, or home-schooling associations. The season culminates with the
National Bible Bowl Youth Conference held in late June or early July. The National
Conference brings together teams from all 50 states and Canada! For more
