The Elderly
The elderly are often confined, underserved, and forgotten in our communities. By going where they are to offer friendship, we build an encouraging community around them.
Micah Community Movement shares our hearts and hands to minister to the elderly at Southern Plaza Retirement Community. We provide weekly Sunday morning worship services, The Gathering fellowship game night, and opportunity to support the unhoused outreach of Micah.
