Youth Group

Middle and High School Youth

Our Youth believe in living out their faith via service, learning, and fellowship, including:
  • Preparing dinner at a homeless shelter
  • Singing Christmas carols at a nursing home
  • Repairing homes for a week of Workcamp each summer
  • Participating in Youth-led Worship Services
  • Raising funds and awareness for world hunger through the 30-Hour Famine
  • Visiting Cedar Point the week before Labor Day
  • ...and so much more!

Middle School

Catechism instruction is given for 5th-8th graders while school is in session on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:30 PM, September-May. A typical evening will consist of:

Class: to nurture faith and foster understanding of the Bible, creeds, and Luther's Small Catechism.
Games: to grow Christian friendships and get some exercise in our beautifully renovated gym.
Lord's Company Ringers: to enrich our appreciation for holy music, this bell choir performs twice annually.

Some nights, we spend the whole evening in a service project, either in the greater community or for our church. Make sure you're on the mailing list for updates!

High School

Youth Group—for 9th-12th graders—meets while school is in session on Wednesday nights from 7:10-8:40 PM, September-May. A typical evening will consist of:

Games: either in the gym or our fully stocked Youth Room, with board games, pool table, air hockey, and more!
Meaningful Conversation: whether you're having a tough week or a great one, we listen to and encourage one another.
Bible Study: to nurture faith and explore biblical truths in the context of everyday life.


Some days, we'll do community service instead, like visiting Sunrise on Vernier or raking leaves for our neighbors. Make sure you're on the mailing list for updates!

Renata's Office Hours

Renata Conger, your friendly neighborhood Spider Man Parish Education and Youth Ministry Coordinator, organizes programming for just-born through just-barely-adult. She is in the office Sunday-Thursday each week. Her office is located right next to the sanctuary, and she would love to chat with you anytime! She is often in other parts of the building (or on trips with the youth) so it's best to contact her before you'd like to meet.

30-Hour Famine 2025

From March 7-8, we went 30 hours without solid food in battle against world hunger. We divided into teams to see who could return the most empties—the winners (by only 1 point) got to sleep on the couch! The next day, we made over 400 sandwiches, broke 300 eggs, and cleaned the pantry at Cass Community Social Services. After more bible study, poverty simulations, and games, we broke our fast with holy communion and homemade soup!
