Our children are growing up in a world where truth is relative. In fact, Gallup found only 20% of Americans believe the Bible is the literal word of God. As parents, we must ground our children in Biblical truth so they can defend their faith and buck the trend of 64% of 18-29 year olds who leave the church.
The National Bible Bee was founded to help children ages 5-18 to learn to study and memorize God’s Word. Over the past 15 years…

How One Life Inspired Millions
In 2009, the Shelby Kennedy Foundation began the National Bible Bee to honor the life and memory of Shelby Kennedy. On May 31, 2005 at the age of 23, Shelby went home to be with the Lord after an intense struggle with cancer. Much of what kept Shelby’s joy in her last days was time spent studying the Word of God.
Though Shelby’s earthly life is over, the Word that she loved endures forever. It is the Foundation’s hope that the Word will dwell richly in the hearts of young people of this generation and that it may transform generations to come.
The National Bible Bee has given over two million dollars in prize money and inspired tens of thousands of young people to dive deeper and memorize God’s Word.
