Quizzes…. Fun?!? When they don’t count for a grade and when nobody knows how you did, they can be fun. And, they’re a great way to stretch your mind a bit and learn more about the Bible (and about the church). 
This page will give you a few minutes to do just that. Shown below is the latest in a series of short quizzes. The quizzes are changed each week (Sunday midnight). So while you’re getting ready for church, or if you’re in a mid-week slowdown, try the quiz!

While Taking the Quiz… Uh-Oh… After Taking the Quiz… The quiz will look different each time you try it. The questions on most of the quizzes are randomly chosen from of a larger poll of questions (on the same topic). So, each time you try the quiz, you’ll see some different questions. Keep trying and watch your score improve. Instructions
