Today we’d like to introduce you to Lynley Moses.
Hi Lynley, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
In January of 2025, God gave me one simple word: fellowship. At the time, I didn’t fully understand what it meant or what it would become. I just knew I was being prompted to create space for connection. I invited two of my friends out for tea, opened our Bibles, and spent time together in the Word. What felt small and ordinary in that moment became the foundation for something far greater.
From that first gathering, A Cup of Christ was formed, rooted in creating intentional, Christ-centered spaces where women could gather, grow, and be spiritually nurtured. Our fellowships intentionally meet women where they are at local coffee shops, smoothie shops, and restaurants, creating a relaxed and welcoming environment for conversation, scripture, and community. We also gather in local parks for prayer walks, using movement and nature as a way to connect with God and one another.
To extend our reach beyond in-person gatherings, we host Fill My Cup Tuesdays, a weekly virtual fellowship that allows women to join from anywhere. These online gatherings have become a consistent space for encouragement, scripture discussion, and shared prayer, helping us stay connected across cities and seasons.
Over the past year, what began with three women has grown into a community that has reached over 30 women, both in person and online, and has positively impacted countless more lives through our outreach efforts. We intentionally seek out community outreach opportunities that promote both community development and the love of Christ, ensuring that every event reflects service, compassion, and faith in action.
As of today, we have proudly celebrated our 1st anniversary, reflecting on all that God has done. In just one year, we have hosted 47 virtual Fill My Cup Tuesdays, 14 in-person fellowships, 2 prayer walks, and 3 community outreach events, each one serving as a reminder that obedience, even when it starts small, can create lasting impact.
A Cup of Christ is a living testimony of what happens when faith meets action, and when fellowship becomes more than a word, it becomes a way of life.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has definitely been a challenging road, but we believe that anything rooted in Christ will come with spiritual warfare. From the very beginning, this journey has required faith, perseverance, and complete trust in God’s provision and timing.
One of the earliest and biggest challenges was trusting the vision before there was visible fruit. A Cup of Christ started very small, and there were moments of doubt, wondering if anyone would show up, if the work was truly making an impact, or if I was even equipped to lead something that was God-breathed. Remaining obedient when attendance was low or momentum felt slow, required deep faith and a constant return to prayer.
Another ongoing struggle has been balancing capacity and calling. As the ministry grew, so did the need for planning, consistency, and structure—often while juggling full-time work, personal responsibilities, and ministry commitments. There were seasons of exhaustion, stretching myself thin, and learning (sometimes the hard way) the importance of rest, delegation, and setting healthy boundaries.
A Cup of Christ is also fully funded through donations and grants, which present their own challenges. We initially raised the funds needed to file and establish the nonprofit, and since then, we have hosted bake sales, applied for grants, and requested support from family and friends to help sustain and grow the ministry. Every step has been a reminder that this work is not self-funded, but God-provided.
Additionally, securing spaces that allow women to meet and fellowship without prejudice has been a minor challenge. Finding welcoming environments hasn’t always been easy, but time and time again, God has proven faithful, guiding us to exactly where we need to be, whether in coffee shops, restaurants, parks, or virtual spaces.
While the road has not been smooth, every challenge has strengthened our foundation. These experiences have reinforced our reliance on God, deepened our faith, and confirmed that when He gives the vision, He also provides the way.
Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I currently work as an Exercise Physiologist at TIRR Memorial Hermann, where I am part of an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team. I work closely alongside physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and physicians to support patients throughout their recovery journey. My specialization is working with individuals who have neurological disorders and other complex diseases, helping them improve strength, endurance, mobility, and overall quality of life through safe, evidence-based exercise.
What I am most proud of is the role I get to play in helping patients reclaim parts of their lives after illness or injury. Rehabilitation is not just physical, it’s emotional and spiritual too. As a breast cancer survivor myself, I understand firsthand how profoundly a disease can alter your body, your confidence, and your sense of normalcy. That lived experience allows me to connect with patients on a deeper level and advocate for the importance of rehabilitation as a vital part of healing.
What truly sets me apart, though, is my faith. I don’t just think, I know it is the love of Christ that separates me from the world. God has equipped me with love, compassion, knowledge, wisdom, and discernment, and that shows up daily in how I interact with my patients. I strive to treat every person with dignity, patience, and empathy, seeing them not just as a diagnosis, but as a whole person. My work is more than a profession; it’s a calling, and I am grateful to live that out every day.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What I like best about this city is the diversity and opportunity it offers. I’m originally from a small town in Indiana, so living here has been a refreshing change. There is so much more to do and see, community events, incredible food, and people from all walks of life. The diversity here is one of my favorite things; it has broadened my worldview and allowed me to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually.
What I like least would be the traffic and the distance between cities, which can make even simple plans feel time-consuming. Another difficult aspect to witness is the lack of adequate support and housing for the homeless population. It’s something that weighs heavily on my heart, especially knowing how much stability and dignity safe housing can provide. While the city has many strengths, this is an area where there is still a great need for compassion, resources, and meaningful solutions.
