Near the end of the last semester, every Scripture section will produce a team of "Bible Experts" that will match wits at the annual Bible Trivia Contest. This is a part of the last semester final exam grade and students MUST attend. Each class helps prepare their team through a series of intense drills and questions. It’s a fun way to study for their cumulative final exam.
