She provides specialized therapeutic services to veterans, families, individuals, couples, and children. Sharon is currently contracted with a local non-profit agency that provides evidence-based interventions through groups and individual counseling supported and funded by the Center for Disease Control and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Sharon volunteered weekly with a Greater Randolph Area Program, providing elderly abuse prevention through group counseling for our senior population before and after COVID-19. She is a military spouse who has accompanied her husband abroad and throughout the United States for over 29 years. In 2017, Sharon was featured on Ken’s Five News in San Antonio as a recipient of a Yellow Rose of Texas awarded by Governor Gregg Abbot in recognition of her service in supporting and mentoring military spouses during their deployments in support of Iraqi Freedom and other campaigns. Sharon was also granted and assigned the Distinction of Honorary Member of the United States Army Medical Department Regiment for contributions to the United States Army Medical Department given by Lieutenant General Nadja Y. West, the Army’s first African-American female Surgeon General. Sharon was an Educator for over 9 years with the Judson Independent School District (JISD) and taught English to both Middle and High students, including students with learning disabilities. She served as Director for the Veteran’s Affairs Administration (VA), providing psychosocial services through a local non-profit agency. The program offered psychotherapy, addiction treatment, skills training, and vocational assistance rehabilitation to veterans who wished to improve their overall functioning and develop a healthy, independent lifestyle. Sharon Moore is a Licensed and Ordained Pastor. In her earlier years in ministry, she was elected to serve as a Deacon, licensed Minister, ordained Elder, and performed Pastoral duties on the Honshu Island of Japan. Sharon attended “Speak the Word,” Bible School in Copperas Cove, Texas, and Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas. Sharon Moore now serves as Co-Pastor to her husband, (Pastor Juan L. Moore) in their founded non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, God’s Love Community Outreach & Fellowship, which is a multi-cultural faith-based community that provides outreach services and support such as food and clothing, to include a free Easter Egg Hunt and Harvest Festival each year to the Greater Randolph Community and surrounding areas. The organization also provides education through seminars and lectures to inform, educate, and empower the community about health issues and encourage a healthier lifestyle. Sharon is married to her best friend and high school sweetheart, Juan. They are blessed with two adult children, Erin L. Moore & Juan L. Moore II, currently residing in San Antonio, Texas. One of Sharon’s greatest desires is to help individuals experience wholeness in every area of their lives: Spirit, Soul, and Body. She believes life should be enjoyed and not just endured. Sharon now proudly calls San Antonio home, where she enjoys the city’s many attractions, traveling, and spending time with her family and pet, Max.
Alright, let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
The road has consisted of many ups and downs; the greatest one of them all was the loss of my mother. She was my greatest encourager and inspiration. Many times, I thought of giving up; nonetheless, I never lost sight of the examples I learned from her life; quitting was not one of them! This mindset has been instrumental in my desire to empower others to take control of their lives, progress toward healing, and enjoy a healthier future.
Let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
