Micah Legal Aid Ministry
Mission of the Ministry:
Our mission is to demonstrate God’s love and deep concern for individual justice by:
- Providing holistic services to the poor and working poor.
- Bridging cultural, linguistic, socioeconomic, and religious gaps by bringing legal services to underrepresented communities.
- Provide legal services to individuals regardless of their belief system. “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
