Celebrating Excellence, Faith, and the Power of God’s Word
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Psalm 119:11 (KJV)
What an incredible achievement! What a wonderful reason to celebrate!
The Apple Creek Seventh-Day Adventist Church family is bursting with pride following the outstanding performance of our Bible Bowlers at the 2026 Bible Bowl Finals, held October 23–24 in Alabama, USA.
After progressing through the qualifying rounds, Apple Creek and Brampton Seventh-Day Adventist Church earned the honour of representing the Ontario Conference, competing against Bible Bowl teams from across the United States.
The two congregations were represented by a combined 37 participants, including 26 from Apple Creek.
OUR BIBLE BOWLERS MADE US PROUD!
APPLE CREEK SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
• Pre-Juniors: 4th Place out of 8 teams
• Senior Youths: 3rd Place
• Young Adults: 1st Place — CHAMPIONS! 🏆
BRAMPTON SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH
• Junior Youth: 1st Place — CHAMPIONS! 🏆
• Adults: 4th Place
What an incredible achievement for both congregations and the Ontario Conference!
While we celebrate these remarkable results, the greatest victory extends beyond trophies and rankings. Our young people devoted countless hours to studying, memorizing, and understanding God’s Word, building spiritual foundations that will serve them throughout their lives.
A Heartfelt Thank You!
Special appreciation goes to our dedicated Apple Creek coaches, Mr.Oscar Vincente, Mrs. Marcia Reid, and Mrs. Michelle Vincente, whose commitment, patience, and encouragement helped prepare our teams for this achievement.
We also sincerely thank Pastor John Scott, Ontario Conference Youth Director, and Ms. L. West, for their leadership and coordination, along with the coaches and coordinators from Brampton.
Our heartfelt appreciation extends to Pastor Deon Rose, who accompanied the delegation, and to the parents whose sacrifices, encouragement, and unwavering support made this experience possible.
Apple Creek, I Am Extremely Proud of You!
To our 26 Bible Bowl participants, I want you to know how tremendously proud I am of every one of you!
You represented your church, families, and Conference with distinction, demonstrating discipline, teamwork, courage, and a remarkable commitment to God’s Word.
You have reminded us that our young people are not merely the future of the church; they are making a meaningful difference in the church today!
My prayer is that your love for Scripture will continue to grow and that the truths you have studied will guide your lives and inspire others to follow Christ.
Congratulations also to our fellow Bible Bowlers from Brampton Seventh-Day Adventist Church on their wonderful achievements.
From Apple Creek to Alabama, you studied faithfully, competed courageously, and made Ontario proud!
Congratulations, Bible Bowlers! You are champions in our hearts, and we celebrate every one of you!
To God be all the glory!
