This service marks a significant and joyful milestone at Jubilee Church: Pastor Steve and Cammy’s final Sunday serving as the main teaching and lead pastors. With gratitude, faith, and hope, they spend this service blessing the future of the church, releasing prayer, and commissioning the next season God is unfolding.

Pastor Steve shares a Christmas-centered encouragement from Luke 2, reminding us that God often fulfills His promises through seasons that feel pressured, uncertain, or inconvenient—yet He is faithfully birthing something new. From there, the service turns toward inheritance and Jubilee—liberty, restoration, and returning to what God has promised His people.

Steve and Cammy pray and commission Jubilee’s next season—blessing Pastor Brian and Vada as they continue to lead the church, praying over Pastor Diana, and commissioning Rosie and Dan as the prayer life of the house is strengthened and multiplied. The church then responds in a powerful moment of impartation through the laying on of hands, with a call for every person—both in the room and online—to be filled with the Holy Spirit for the year ahead.

As part of this transition, Pastor Steve and Cammy will be entering a three-month sabbatical, taking time to rest, abide, and renew—before joyfully returning as members of the Jubilee congregation. The service closes with a congregational benediction from Isaiah 61, declaring good news, healing, freedom, joy, and praise—beauty for ashes and a garment of praise—over Jubilee as the Lord leads the church forward.
