Welcome To Empire Quizzing!

Empire Quiz is a ministry of the Assemblies of God National Youth Department and is for kids grades 6-12. Empire quizzers quiz on the same material as middle school quizzers and compete against middle school teams as well. Empire Quizzing is similar to quick recall academic games (i.e. Jeopardy). Two teams of three quizzers each face a series of twenty questions with varying difficulty. The first quizzer to buzz in and answer the question correctly gains points for their team.

Why Empire Quiz?

· Encourage by systematic memorization and study an in-depth understanding of God’s Word among young people which leads to daily application of the Word.
· Cultivate through competition a proper attitude toward winning and losing.
· Provide an opportunity for discipling youth so that they will reflect the Spirit of Christ in attitude, word, and action.
· Provide through travel and competition opportunities to expand Christian fellowship.

There are only four competitions during a year and weekly practices. More time is spent studying what the Scripture means in a small group environment. From the outside, it looks like just competition and trophies. From the inside, it is all about friendships and mentoring.

Yes, there are designated league coordinators throughout the state who are highly qualified to help you start this ministry in your church. Please contact Elisa Napierala (enapier2@mail.naz.edu) to find out who your local league coordinator is.

Any teenager, grades 6-12 (as of the beginning of the quiz year, September 1st), may participate in Empire Quiz. To form a team, there needs to be at least 2 quizzers (maximum of 6 quizzers on a team) and a head coach. A team also has the option of having two assistant coaches as well. A church may have more than one team if they choose.

Experience Quizzers will memorize about half of the book of Acts by the end of the quizzing year. The book is separated up into manageable groups of chapters for each quiz meet, so quizzers do not have to learn all the material at once.

No! We believe that each person should memorize God’s Word to the best of his or her ability, whether that be learning one chapter or all of them! The most important part of quizzing is learning God’s Word and hiding it in your heart for eternity. It’s incredible how God uses what we learn in our hardest times to give us peace and hope that he will take care of us.

The farthest an Empire Quiz team may advance to is District Finals.
