CIRCLE OF THE SWORD

Circle of the Sword award pins

Officials set the tone and keep the order of each Junior Bible Quiz match. Well-trained and godly officials can help make a difficult situation much easier. For this reason, the North Texas District wishes to recognize and honor officials who have taken up the quest to become members of "The Circle of the Sword".

We want to appropriately recognize those teens and adults who have worked hard to become a JBQ official, and who have taken on the task of earning their Seals through the study of the JBQ Fact-Pact questions and answers. Many times we find that while studying with our children, we too are learning the questions. This program gives us an opportunity to recognize those adults and teens who earn their Seals by learning the questions and successfully passing the appropriate officials' tests. Each level of accomplishment will be recognized at the Area level and again at the District level.
