Meet the
director
Shea Durston
Director of Quiz Meet
Shea quizzed his way through grades 7 to 12 and memorized thousands of verses, to the point he could quote Hebrews backwards, verse by verse. He experienced first hand that God’s Word does not return void. It gave him a foundation of truth that has been a lamp to his path, and opened the way to full time ministry.
Shea has led Quiz Meet since 2015 alongside the staff of UB David & I’LL B Jonathan, and pastors at Heritage Alliance Church. He and his wife Sharlyn have five children.

Common
questions
What translation is used?+
The New King James Version. The answer to every question is word for word from the New King James Scripture text.
How many quizzers do we need to start?+
Three to four young people in grades 7-12 is enough to form your first team. As your program grows, more quizzers simply means more teams.
How many verses is that a week?+
About four to seven verses a week for Club 150, and about ten verses for Club 300. Full material, depending on the year, can range from 15 to 40 verses per week (yes, some quizzers do it).
When does it run?+
Churches run independent weekly quiz practices September through May, then gather for three Quiz Meet weekends throughout the quizzing year, each hosted at a local church, camp or Bible school, where they compete on the verses they memorized.
What does it cost?+
There is no cost to start a program in your church. Quiz books are $7.50 to $17.50, and each Quiz Meet weekend has a registration fee.
Do we need to buy equipment?+
Not in your first year. We offer to loan a full set of benches and a control box to new churches. After that, benches are $2,500 and a control box is $550.
How do we learn to run it?+
We offer virtual training workshops to help your church and its leaders start confidently. In-person workshops may be possible depending on location.
