Junior Bible Quiz is Back at Commission Church!

Psalm 119:11 says:

I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. (NLT)

At Commission Church, we believe children are capable of knowing God’s Word deeply, not just hearing Bible stories occasionally. That’s why we are excited to relaunch Junior Bible Quiz (JBQ) during our Sunday morning Discipleship Hour at 9 AM! This gives you an opportunity to bring your kids to church while you attend our discipleship class in the sanctuary.

JBQ is designed for children ages 4 through 5th grade and is one of the most effective discipleship tools for helping kids memorize Scripture, understand biblical truths, and develop a lifelong love for the Bible.

Hiding God’s Word in our hearts is one of the greatest gifts I was given as a child. From a young age, I knew God’s truth, and it formed and guided my life.

JBQ is a gift to our children.

We will be starting Junior Bible Quiz for the fall of 2026 on Sunday, August 9th at 9 am in the classroom

What is Junior Bible Quiz?

Junior Bible Quiz is a fun, engaging, and scripture-centered discipleship ministry that helps children learn and retain God’s Word through:

  • Bible memorization
  • Interactive questions and answers
  • Team participation
  • Friendly competition
  • Foundational doctrine and theology
  • Weekly discipleship and encouragement

Kids are challenged to grow in their understanding of scripture while building confidence, friendships, and a deeper relationship with Jesus.

During the school year, our JBQ teams also compete one Saturday morning each month against other churches in exciting quiz competitions. These events give kids the opportunity to work together, apply what they’ve learned, build friendships, and grow in confidence while having an incredible amount of fun.

Every child participating in JBQ will receive a binder containing all of the official JBQ questions and material. This binder will serve as their primary study tool throughout the year as they memorize scripture and grow in biblical understanding.

JBQ is only as successful as the families make it. While we are committed to investing in children each Sunday morning, one hour of practice, teaching, and training is not enough to truly hide the Word of God in our kids’ hearts. JBQ is a discipleship tool, and real spiritual formation happens when families intentionally engage with scripture throughout the week. As parents practice verses, review questions, and encourage consistency at home, children begin building lifelong foundations in God’s Word.

We do not simply want children to attend church. We want them to know the Bible, recognize the voice of God, and build their lives on truth. In a world constantly trying to shape our children, we believe we must actively work to form them through the Word of God.

Why JBQ Matters

Children are constantly being shaped by the world around them. JBQ helps ground them in truth before culture shapes their worldview.

When children memorize scripture early in life, those truths stay with them for years to come. JBQ helps students:

  • Hide God’s Word in their hearts
  • Develop biblical literacy
  • Grow spiritually at an early age
  • Build confidence in scripture
  • Learn discipline and consistency
  • Prepare to defend and live out their faith

Many mature believers today point back to Bible memorization ministries like JBQ as foundational moments in their spiritual journey.

WHY JBQ CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

Who Can Participate?

JBQ is open for children ages 4 through 5th grade.

No prior experience is needed! Whether your child knows a few Bible stories or already loves memorizing scripture, JBQ is a welcoming place to grow.

🗓️ Fall 2026 Start Date: Sunday August 9th, 2026

When Does It Meet?

🕘 Sundays at 9:00 AM

📍 During our Discipleship Hour

Our Goal

Our desire is not simply to help children attend church. We want to help them become disciples who know the Bible, love Jesus, and live with confidence in God’s truth.

We believe God’s Word changes lives, even at a young age.
