Bible quizzing provides and exciting and fun way for students in EC churches to study the word of God, and test their knowledge against students from other churches. Quizzing is made up of two divisions. The Junior Division is open to students in 3rd through 6th grades. The Senior Division is open to students in 7th through 12th grades.
Many churches in the Great Lakes region of the EC Conference have been quizzing for many years, and churches in the Delaware and Susquehanna Region have been quizzing since the spring of 2005. It is our hope and desire to see many more churches participate in this exciting event in the future.
The quizzing season consists of three quiz matches. The first is held late in the Fall, the second during the Winter months, and the third in the Spring. There has been some talk of having a mega match including teams from both regions at the end of the season, but no decisions have been made at this time.

History of Bible Quizzing in Delaware and Susquehanna Region
After a meeting at the Sinking Spring EC Church on February 19, 2005, it was decided to present a Bible Quizzing Tournament with interested Delaware / Susquehanna churches for both Jr. and Sr. divisions as a trial run. This quiz match was held on May 14, 2005 at Salem EC Church in Lenhartsville.
Although the number of teams participating was minimal, there was a lot of excitement generated from that first match. The decision was made to press on with quizzing in this region, and hold a full season of matches in 2005/2006. December 3, 2005 was the first quiz match for the inaugural season, and proved to once again be an exciting and enjoyable time.
The current set of teams participating in this region are:
