MEET JAMIE
A heart for people and their potential!
Jamie Southerland has a heart for serving others, building meaningful relationships, and helping people recognize their God-given potential. Through ministry, mentorship, professional leadership, or a simple word of encouragement, she wants people to know that they have purpose and can make a difference.
Jamie serves as an Encouragement Coach for a local chapter of Celebrate Recovery, a Christ-centered recovery ministry. She cares deeply for people navigating life's hurts, habits, and hang-ups. With compassion and faith, she walks alongside others and reminds them that the past does not have to define the future—and that healing, restoration, and new beginnings are possible through Jesus Christ.
She also serves on the Leadership Lawton Fort Sill Board of Directors and mentors through Leadership Fort Sill. Jamie believes leadership is not simply a title; it is the way we influence, encourage, and serve the people around us.
Professionally, Jamie serves as Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Lawton Fort Sill Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau. Across business, healthcare, communications, and military support, she is committed to bringing people together, building strong teams, and creating opportunities for others to succeed.
Above all, Jamie treasures her family: her three sons, two daughters-in-law, grandchildren Mecaila, Paisley, Braelynn, and Ryker, and great-granddaughter Huntlee.
WHAT GUIDES HER
Small steps can make a lasting difference.
Jamie’s approach is grounded in faith, compassion, and the belief that each person can keep growing—one next step at a time.
A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Your next step matters.
Showing up isn't always easy. Life gets busy, we get tired, and sometimes we wonder whether we're making progress. But just because you aren't where you want to be doesn't mean you haven't come a long way.
Sometimes we focus so much on how far we still have to go that we forget to look back and see how far God has already brought us. The past does not have to determine the future, and struggles do not have to hold us captive forever.
Recovery isn't about perfection. It's about progress!
Progress might look like a breakthrough—or simply getting out of bed, asking for help, making that phone call, or choosing to show up when staying home feels easier.
Keep showing up.
Keep trusting God.
Keep encouraging one another.
Keep taking the next right step.
Your past does not disqualify you, your struggles do not define you, and your story isn't over.
God is still working.
THE POWER OF A LIVING HOPE
Hope can rewrite the story.
Jamie shares openly about struggling with hurts and hang-ups after being raised as the eldest child in a large, dysfunctional family. For years, hopelessness made it feel as though circumstances, patterns, and mistakes would never change.
Through Celebrate Recovery, Jamie learned that Jesus Christ brings hope into places that feel dark. When she stopped trying to fix everything in her own strength, worked the steps, and trusted God, the heavy fog of hopelessness began to lift. Her past did not have the final say; recovery rested not on her limited strength, but on God's endless grace.
If you are feeling hopeless, please hear this: don't give up five minutes before the miracle happens. Lean into community, work your steps, and let God lead you forward. The darkness doesn't win.
Keep coming back. There is hope for the next step.
