Lane pastored a home missions church in ND for two years, then went back to school and obtained a teaching certificate. He then enlisted in the US Army in 1985 as a chaplain assistant. His Army career started on December 4, 1985 in Basic Training at Fort Dix, NJ. He was a chaplain assistant, then went to seminary at AGTS in Springfield, MO, entered active duty as an Army chaplain in October, 1991 and retired as a chaplain, Lieutenant Colonel, on February 28, 2013. After retirement from the Army, Lane started a Clinical Pastoral Education program, where he obtained four units of CPE. He then served as a Veterans Affairs chaplain at the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis, MN for almost four years. He and Val then moved to the Nashville, TN area to be close to family. They have two grown children, both are married and all the family lives in the greater Nashville area. They have two adorable grandsons!
Lane served as a hospice chaplain and a hospital chaplain in the Nashville area also. He now serves as the volunteer chaplain for American Legion Post 22, Franklin, TN. He is a substitute teacher for a local school district. He loves to write, hunt and fish! Lane remains in contact with his NC roommate and good friend, Randy Ashe of Darrington, WA. He and Randy fish together whenever possible, which is not as much as they both would like. Lane says "I have such wonderful memories of NC and all the great students and faculty. What great years, memories and chapel services. God has been so good to me and blessed me and my family. Thanks to all my fellow students and faculty who made my time at NC a great experience!"
