With the film’s debut still a few days away, PEOPLE can exclusively reveal a first look at Jeremiah and Willow’s reunion.
In PEOPLE’s exclusive sneak peek, Willow has stepped in as the interim minister of music after Minister Eddie “suffered a nasty fall.”
“There’s a new sheriff in town, a new general on the frontlines, a new queen up in this castle. Now, there’s a lot of work to be done in the next few days if we’re going to be ready for the jubilee, and we will be ready,” she tells a group of church performers.

After everyone greets him, he announces that he’s found “a true son of this church” to officially fill the role of interim minister of music.
“Although he hasn’t been here for a while, he’s been traveling the world with his gifts,” he says before Jeremiah walks into the room — much to Willow’s surprise.
