Nebraska JBQ Statement of Purpose

Scripture: Colossians 2:6-8: “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus our Lord, so walk in HIM. Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. Beware: lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the traditions of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” KJV

Statement of Purpose: To prepare, build up, and establish young people in the faith as they diligently study God’s Word.

Goal: To raise up our children fully equipped to serve the Lord both in the body of Christ and in the world, as the Lord our God shall call.

Nebraska Bible Quiz is about discipling our children. Training them up in the way they should go, so that, when they are old, they will not depart from it.

Our district emphasis is based on awards for each quizzer’s achievement in learning God’s Word, not solely on their skill during competition.

Two levels of competition and award certificates are offered, with step by step achievement stickers for both levels.

Coaches and parents are encouraged to grow in their walk with the Lord as they teach, study, practice together and attend competitions with their children.

Competitions are held with teams across our district offering the opportunity for the ‘body of Christ’ to fellowship with one another.


10 Things Every Quizzer Should Gain From Quizzing

1. LEARN GOOD STUDY SKILLS
Opportunity for student / parent involvement to develop study skills and devote time learning God's Word.

2. LEARN DISCIPLINE SKILLS
Patience in competition or filling the role as assigned rather than doing only what the quizzer would normally do if permitted.

3. LEARN THE WORD OF GOD
Have a Biblical foundation to form a strong world Biblical view. Understanding 'why' a Christian does or does not do certain things. Knowing 'why' we tithe, attend church services regularly, study the Word, and minister to others.

4. LEARN TO ROLE PLAY
Everyone cannot do everything. Quizzers are asked to fill specific roles for the team's benefit.

5. LEARN RESPECT FOR LEADERSHIP
Quizzers must listen and obey their coach's specific instructions. They may not tell the other quizzer, a coach or officals how to perform their duties.

6. LEARN RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER
Quizzers are not to correct one another, nor ridicule or make fun. They are not to monitor and make evaluation of another quizzer's ability or performance.

7. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD COMPETITION
The sole priority of quizzing is not winning, nor gaining personal accolades, but doing wht is best for the team and staying within the individual role assignment.

8. LEARN ABOUT CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
Quizzers should develop Christian friendships, pray for one another and enjoy fellowship with members of their own team and with those of other churches.

9. LEARN TO TEST THEIR OWN LEADERSHIP SKILLS
Quizzers should learn about doing what is right, at the right time, for the right reasons.

10. LEARN TO HAVE FUN
Quiz teams should have fun wherever they go. Never let another adult or quizzer hinder that aspect of quizzing.

QUIZ INFORMATION

All Nebraska “JBQ” quizzers use the NIV version to enable a smooth transition into teen quiz.

Quiz day schedules are from 12 pm – 3 pm or from 1 pm – 4 pm. Details provided each month.
We begin with an orientation and then have a short closing celebration for all teams.

Registration is via email. A form is provided and can be completed on the computer and
sent as an attachment. There is a registration fee per team due by December 31st to avoid
any late fees. See the initial registration form for details or visit this site.

Unless special arrangements have been made, teams are to have a meal prior to arrival.
NO food or drinks are permitted in the rooms or halls. Thanks for your cooperation.

Each team provides 2 of the following officials: Quizmaster, Judge, Scorekeeper.
(No more than 1 SK per team)

Upon arrival on quiz day, coaches pick up their schedule by selecting the packet with their
team’s name written on the upper right-hand corner. Officials also check-in and meet for a
separate orientation prior to quizzing.

At the completion of each day’s competition, all members of the teams will restore the room
of their final round for the host church in preparation for Sunday services.

Each team provides a quiz box(es) for use at the competitions.
