1st Peter 2:9 But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for the high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do his work and speak out for him, to tell others of the night-and-day difference he made for you...

Minister Kalilia Wilson and Whollynation.com

The Youth and Young Adult Development concept was created by Pastor Willie F. Wilson. It includes all youth and young adult ministries in one conglomeration for organizational and foundational purposes. The idea is to provide a system so that all youth and young adult organizations co-exist in harmony and support of one another.

Once the concept was created, Minister Kalilia Wilson applied her concept of what relevant youth and young adult ministry looks like. Then, she gave it a name... Whollynation.com

Hip Hop Nation (logo) Did I send it to you O?

Hip Hop Nation is a group of enthusiastic young people ranging in age from 3 (potty-trained) to 18. Not your average "choir," Hip Hop Nation is comprised of rappers and dancers in addition to singers. Hip Hop Nation emerged in response to assets and needs. We noticed the assets: youth attending services, youth ready to participate in something, youth that are a product of the current hip-hop generation, a surplus of innovative ideas. We realized the needs: relevant ministry, relevant activities, motivated individuals to be consistent with our youth. The response: a choir that sings songs that range from Tye Tribbet's "No Way" to positive Hip-Hop like "Where Is the Love?" by Black Eyed Peas to revised versions of R&B/hip-hop songs such as "Dangerously in Love" by Beyonce Knowles. At the first rehearsal, we welcomed over one hundred children. Any interested persons should contact Kalilia Wilson, Tia Singleton, or Andrea Taylor at 202-678-8822 or e-mail us at info@whollynation.com.
