Website Merge

instituteforpastoralcare.com is now at timlane.org

In October of 2013, I launched timlane.org where I began blogging on a regular basis. As a result of writing and speaking, this website gained significant traffic and exposure to the work I was doing with churches.

With the formation of the Institute for Pastoral Care in 2014, we chose to launch a separate ministry website. Over time it began to make sense to consolidate the content to help us steward our resources and create a more focused message. To those of you who donate to the work of the Institute, your investment continues to enable us to equip the church for wise, Christ-centered personal ministry. 

Thank you for your ongoing interest, support and prayers.

With gratitude,

Tim Lane
