Bible Quizzing

Wednesday Nights

Bible Quizzing is a fun, friendly competition where kids learn the Bible, build friendships, and grow their faith.

This year, we’re exploring Genesis — from the creation of the world to Joseph’s amazing story. Quizzing is a great way to get your kids digging deep into God’s Word, while having fun with friends. Join the adventure! Bible Quizzing starts in September!

March Children's Quiz

The second area Bible Quiz will be at Cross Point at 8710 Hull Street, N Chesterfield, VA 

Parents, each church is asked to provide scorekeeper volunteers. It’s a simple role—just marking answers right or wrong—and training will be given before the quiz. Please plan to help with one round if needed. The quiz begins around 8:30am and will wrap up by lunchtime.

We’re excited for a great year of quizzing through Genesis!

In the pre-teen service, not only do they learn more about heroes of faith, be start applying them to their friendships too! Each week pre-teens are exploring questions about the Bible and what it looks like to be a follower of Christ. They also are big into friendships and fairness, so games and exclusive Preteen events play a big role in this group!

Baby Dedication

Presenting a child for dedication signifies your faith in the Christian religion, as well as your desire that the child may know and follow God. Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:13-14). We are excited to partner with you, as you guide and raise your child in the way of the Lord!

Allow a two-week minimum when requesting a specific dedication date. While every effort is made to accommodate a requested date and time, at times it may be necessary to adjust due to the flow of the Worship Services.
