Before deciding to run, she researched the role and shadowed the Auditor to understand the job from every angle. With our longtime Auditor retiring, Courtney is ready to bring steady leadership and a fresh perspective.

Faith & Service

Faithful where she is. Ready for more.

Courtney's path, serving faithfully inside the office before stepping up to lead it, follows the story of Joseph, one of Scripture's great examples of a trustworthy steward.

1

Faithful in the house

Joseph didn't start at the top. He served Potiphar so faithfully that everything in the house was placed in his care.

GENESIS 39:4
2

Trusted with the records

As steward of Egypt's grain he kept careful account and planned ahead, storing up in good years so the people were served in hard ones.

GENESIS 41:48–49
3

Set over the whole land

Because he was faithful where he was, he was raised up to lead. Courtney has learned this office from the inside and is ready to lead it.

GENESIS 41:41
“
And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.GENESIS 41:41
Proverbs 11:1
Honest books and accurate records
A false balance is abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.
Luke 16:10
Proven in the daily work of the office
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
Colossians 3:23
Every task done with care
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.
Micah 6:8
Fair, humble service to every resident
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
2 Corinthians 8:21
Elections open for anyone to observe
Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

Scripture: King James Version (English) · Reina-Valera 1909 (Español)
