The Bible Knowledge Exam (BKE) is an assessment of your biblical awareness and understanding. It verifies your mastery of scripture and understanding of key people, places, and events in the Bible. This exam is required for anyone who is applying to serve as an official licensed worker with the Christian and Missionary Alliance. The BKE is available in English and Spanish.

The Bible Knowledge Exam is:

• Timed – you have 25 minutes to complete the 50 questions
• Closed-book – you cannot use your Bible or other materials as a reference
• Graded – ministry candidates need to achieve 80% correct prior to their approval for licensed ministry in the C&MA
• Repeatable – you have up to three attempts to pass the exam

This exam is a 50-question timed exam which can be taken up to 3 times with the highest grade being recorded. Grades are sent to the Office of Candidate Recruitment for the C&MA and shared with local Districts as appropriate.
