boring, but it’s better than this!” But when Katie read the Bible, she found that God wasn't a distant, unapproachable dictator; He was a passionate, gracious Creator who loved her and offered her a new life. Through faith, God gave her a new identity–He made her on purpose and for a purpose.

This concept of being made on purpose and for a purpose became our lifeline. And Lane of Roses was born. In 2005, on the campus of the University of Kentucky, Lane of Roses began in sorority houses, where hundreds of women learned what it means to have a relationship with God and what it looks like when we choose to live a life for His purposes, not our own. 

These interactions were what inspired our founder to start a website and a blog, where women from all over the world could share their story and help others understand that no matter how broken, no matter how lost, no matter how weak…God can, and will, use His people. 

This website began reaching women all over the world, and the Lane of Roses Community grew and grew. In 2015, Lane of Roses was officially incorporated into a 501c3 non-profit organization and in 2016, Katie hired the first full-time staff member. 

Lane of Roses has grown from a dream into a reality with a team of staff working towards the same mission: helping others understand their God-given purpose!
