In 2010, Lane and Angela transitioned from full-time travel to serve as music ministry staff in the local church, faithfully pouring into worship and discipleship at home. Now, in 2025, having recently retired from local church music ministry, Testimony returns with renewed enthusiasm and a clear sense of purpose.

As Testimony embraces this new season, their unwavering mission remains: To uplift believers, win the lost, and glorify the Lord through heartfelt Southern Gospel music, all while enjoying the journey. The best, they believe, is yet to come!
