Northeastern Conference holds a rich tradition in one of it’s many youth ministry initiatives. Bible Bowl, which was created by Elder Trevor Baker, has been a long standing ministry that has encouraged many, from ages 6 and older, to read, study and show themselves approved of what they have learned in a friendly team competition. This year was no different as Northeastern Conference Youth Ministries held the annual Bible Bowl Conference Championships in Stamford, Connecticut at the Stamford Marriott Hotel, June 8-9, 2018.
The guest speaker for the championships was Pastor Easton Marks (Flatbush SDA Church). There were 32 teams and 19 churches that participated this year. Listed below are the championship results. The first place winners go on to compete at the BAYDA (Black Adventist Youth Directors Association) Bible Bowl Nationals with teams from across the country and Canada. This year the BAYDA Nationals will be held in (Stafford) Houston, Texas, October 26-27, 2018. Congratulations to all of the Northeastern Bible Bowl teams.
