Why JBQ?

  • Could it be the fun competition that inspires the children to study God’s Word?
  • Could it be the studies that have shown 88% of children raised in evangelical homes leave the church, never to return, BUT almost 90% of children who have participated with their involved parents for at least four years DO NOT walk away from their faith?
  • Could it be the awards and recognition that help the children to write God’s Word on their hearts?
  • Could it be the studies that have demonstrated that memorization skills, which are the core of JBQ, have greatly improved scholastic aptitudes?

Junior Bible Quiz:

It's not just a game.
It's faith for a lifetime.

The Central Texas area is a part of the much-larger North Texas District.  We meet up with teams from across the district every year during District Finals, as well as at occasional invitational meets.

Any church is welcome to quiz with us!  If you would like to quiz within our Junior Bible Quiz area, contact Ron Birrell, our area coordinator.  He'll be glad to help you get started!

Why We Quiz

Question.  Question number 17 for 30 points.  How powerful is God's word?

Answer:  Hebrews 4:12  "For the word of God is living and active.  Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart."  (NIV)

Junior Bible Quiz (JBQ) was created and designed to help children develop a love for the Bible and an understanding that its truth can guide their daily lives. JBQ offers a fun, exciting way to motivate children to understand the all-important truths in God’s Word. Through cooperative learning, children work together on teams to learn and understand the questions and answers from the Bible Fact-Pak. Then using friendly competition the children meet with other teams for a fun quizzing match. There are twenty questions in a match, with two teams of quizzers trying to buzz in first to get the first shot at the answers.

Check out some of our best JBQ friends at The Oaks Fellowship, featured on CBN's "Church of the Week."

And that's why we do what we do!

Boy on a Swing

"Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

Junior Bible Quiz provides families a fun way to help children learn more about our loving Lord and Savior. 

JBQ Officials

PLEASE NOTE: Beginning in 2010, all North Texas District officials must complete an online certification process.

Officials set the tone and keep the order of each quiz match.  Well-trained and godly officials can help make a difficult situation much easier.  To make sure your officials are well-trained, give each official a copy of the (free!) Official JBQ Guidelines.  Then, have each official take the online officials' test* to make sure they can apply the guidelines correctly.  Let's set a goal to have the most awesome officials in the country! 

*NOTE: You will need to contact Ron Birrell for the password for the test - OR YOUR SCORES WILL NOT BE SAVED.

If your officials are learning the questions along with the children, then have them take the JBQ Seals tests and register them for the North Texas District's awesome "Circle of the Sword," honoring the best officials around!
