The patches go in this order:
The Youth Division patch goes on first.
Directly below that is the CFC patch. (CFC stands for Canyon Family Church). This is the larger group you belong to. CFC are all members within 30 miles of Chinle, AZ.).
Directly below that would be the number patch (If the member earned one). The number shows how many Kid’s Programs you helped with.
Any special patches go above The Youth Division patch. These would be Recon or Content Creator. These patches are difficult to earn.
The Youth Division patch.
Any teen who has passed The Youth Division 16-week training can wear this patch.
Recon Patch
This patch is only to be worn by members of Recon who passed the test and have been awarded Recon status.
Content Creator
This patch is for those who help create audio or video content for the children’s programs. Talk with Jeff to see what is required to get this patch.
Bandannas
Members of The Youth Division wear grey bandannas or grey hats. In order to wear a grey bandanna or hat, you must have completed and passed the 16-week training. Most members help at the children’s programs. Some clean up after church or help set up before church.
Members of Recon wear green bandannas or hats. All members of Recon should be shown the same respect you would show an adult leader.
CFC Patch
Any member who qualifies to wear the grey bandanna automatically qualifies to wear the CFC patch.

In the future, there might be one kid’s program on Sunday in Chinle and a second kid’s program at another location on Saturdays year round. This would enable a member to help with two programs per week and earn two 50 patches in a single year.

50 patch $6.00
The 50 patch is awarded those who helped at 50 kid’s programs. If a member helped at 100 or more kid’s programs, they would stack the patches atop each other. So under the first 50 patch would be a second 50 patch and so on.
In this set of patches you will see three pins under the patches. A cross with two award pins.
The center award pin (Cross) is given to those members who can pass a test proving they know what Jesus said. This information can be found here.
The pin on the left is awarded to those who read the Old Testament in the Bible.
The pin on the right is for those who read the New Testament in the Bible.
The Bible can be downloaded and listened to on electronic devices. Members can listen instead of read but they must pass a test to prove that they know the material. You can take the test in sections as you read so you do not have to remember the entire Bible for one test.
We will be using this cross with the silver edges instead of gold because they look better. $6 each
The other two pins are just for demonstration. We will have them custom made. They may look totally different.
The cross pin must never be worn on a hat. If you see someone wearing this pin on their hat, it means that they are the pastor of a church or a youth pastor. When we work with other churches or ministries, this will show you who their leader is.
There are insignias for rank. To see the different rank and insignia, chick the button.
