Cortney Wente
Cortney Wente (née Cordero) is a freelance writer that has been recognized for her work published in poetry, blog spaces, and through freelance writing. She is the winner of the 2016 Nancy P. Schnader award and was published in a book of emerging poets in 2017. In 2015, she went on a missions trip to Cape Town, South Africa that completely changed her faith, all documented in her blog, South African Sojourner.
Cortney serves her local church as a helpmate to her husband, Sam, who is the Lead Pastor at Grace Bible Church. In everything she does, she tries to help people see the love and value in themselves that the Lord sees in them: "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." (1 Peter 2:9)
What We Believe
The Lord is sovereign and supreme over all things
All fall short of the glory of God and only Jesus lived a sinless life
We are saved by Christ alone. Without His death on a cross, we could never be assured of our salvation on this side of eternity. Christ’s work is the only action that brings about grace and saves us from our sins. There is nothing we can do on our part to aid or bring about that salvation.
All scripture is God-breathed and infallible. There is no part of it that is antiquated or can be ignored as non-applicable.
Life begins at conception
Marriage is between one man and one woman
We are saved from our sin to bring glory to God
