about us
OUR MISSION
We create resources and spaces that empower women to discover who God is, understand who He made them to be, and live out their God-given purpose.
Our Story
It’s often true that the greatest ideas are birthed out of our deepest hurt. And Lane of Roses is no exception.
At 23, our founder Katie hit rock bottom. She threw her hands in the air and said, “God, I quit! Following you might be hard and
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 staff of more than twelve women working towards the same mission: helping others understand their God-given purpose!
