Bible Competition

Theotokos Scripture Challenge – Bible Competition

The Theotokos Scripture Challenge is our Bible competition designed to turn Scripture study into a joyful, high-energy journey. Children and teens don’t just study quietly—they train, compete, and celebrate around the Word of God.

With valuable prizes for winners and special recognition for participants, this competition motivates our youth to give their best and to keep God’s Word in their hearts for life.

Why a Bible Competition?
Children love clear goals. They love to aim high and see progress. A Bible competition:

  • Gives a target and a timeline that keeps them engaged

  • Encourages them to go deeper than the minimum

  • Builds confidence to speak the Word of God out loud

  • Creates a positive, faith-filled environment where effort is celebrated

We use competition not to create pride, but to create holy focus—so that their minds and hearts are full of Scripture.

How the Scripture Challenge works

1. Enroll in the Bible Study Track
Every competitor is first a Bible student. They follow the same three-format Bible study (PDF, video, live session).

2. Receive Competition Material
According to age group, competitors receive:

  • Extra memory passages

  • Additional study questions

  • Practice quizzes and challenge prompts

3. Online Qualifying Round
Students complete an online test that covers:

  • Memory verses

  • Bible knowledge and understanding

  • Basic application questions

4. Live Final Round (Online)
Top qualifiers advance to a live online event that may include:

  • Verse recitation

  • Quick-response Bible questions

  • Short explanations of selected passages

Families, friends, and parishes can join online to watch and cheer.

Big Prizes, Eternal Reward

We are very open with our children: there are big prizes, and there is a bigger reward.

For top winners, prizes may include:

  • Scholarships toward camps, retreats, or further Orthodox education

  • High-quality Bibles, patristic books, and study tools

  • Beautiful icons and devotional items

  • Medals, trophies, and public recognition

For participants:

  • Certificates of participation

  • Small gifts and recognition in our community

  • A sense of achievement and spiritual growth

The prizes are designed to be valuable and memorable, yet every servant will gently remind the children:

“The greatest prize is to belong to Christ, to love His Word, and to remain faithful to His Church.”

Section: For Parents

This competition is not just an event—it’s a season of intense spiritual and intellectual growth for your child. During the Scripture Challenge:

  • You’ll see them memorize more than you thought possible

  • You’ll hear them quote verses at unexpected moments

  • You’ll watch their confidence grow as they speak in front of others

  • You’ll have many opportunities to talk about faith at home

In a world that rewards empty achievements, this is a chance to let your child chase something that will never fade.
