Courtney has been a WPC member for almost 30 years, transferring membership with her parents (Tom and Joan Bang) from Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church in 1995 after she made Confirmation.
While attending Delaware County Community College (DCCC), she began to serve the church as a volunteer. Courtney focused on the middle school “Rock” program each Sunday and accompanied the high school “Door” program on a life-changing mission trip to an orphanage in Mexico. With the help of the WPC college ministry director, Courtney created and ran an interfaith prayer group at DCCC for two years. At that time she was also an active volunteer with CityLights and Interfaith Hospitality Network, now known as Family Promise.
After receiving her associate degree in communications from DCCC, Courtney continued her education at College of Charleston and received her undergraduate degree in public speaking. Upon graduation she returned to Wayne and her volunteer role with youth ministries, which she has been engaged with for 20 years. In 2016 Courtney joined the MOMS group and found her village. This semester she became the Bible study coordinator for the group and led the moms through a series on mental wellness. Over the past seven years Courtney has served WPC by volunteering on the Women’s Retreat Committee, the Congregational Care committee and the Children’s Ministry Committee. She has taught children’s Sunday school and currently teaches high school Sunday school.
Courtney’s passion for working with youth extends beyond the church. She is an advisor for collegiate chapters of her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi, and serves on the fundraising committee for Owen J. Roberts PTA. Courtney’s vocation has taken her on journeys in customer service, sales and childcare. She currently works part time at Ice Line Hockey Arena and as a nanny.
Courtney resides in Spring City with her husband, Michael, and their three children, Abram (13), Elna (8) and Isla (4).
