Bible Drills

Several youth and children from First Baptist Church, Byhalia participated in Bible Drills this year. Bible Drill is a tool used in the Baptist Church to help children and youth to learn to be comfortable navigating around the Bible and to learn many verses that will help them answer doctrinal questions. In the program, they have to memorize the books of the Bible in order, find books of the Bible and specific verses within a limited time (10 seconds for children and 8 seconds for youth), and memorize specific verses related to doctrinal topics and questions. They compete against the clock at three different levels. The first is Church Bible Drills that was conducted at FBC In late March. The second level is an Association drill for Marshall County, held at Slayden Baptist Church, and on Tuesday April 15th our group participated in State Bible Drills held at Longview Heights Baptist Church. All participates showed skill and determination by making it all the way to the last level of competition, and in the process, they are learning to use their Bibles as a tool for growth.
