About Wil E. Coleman
Minister William E. Coleman (affectionately know as "Wil") is a man after the heart of God. Preaching the Word of God, with over ten years of writing and leading worship, he renders himself faithful to God, his pastor, and his commission to serve the people of God. Minister Coleman takes this seriously through working as the Minister of Music of New Jerusalem Cathedral & Monument of Praise Ministries as well as Youth Pastor.
As Youth Pastor, Wil works heavily with the SOTO program (Successfully Overcoming the Odds) and also speaks to youth across the country. He also started a youth program within New Jerusalem Cathedral & Monument of Praise Ministries. Minister Coleman's passion for youth is what pushed him to start The Necessity Foundation, designed to help fatherless youth understand their worth and inspire them to take their place in the world and reach their full potential.
As a Psalmist, Wil believes that the message should be very simple; God is concerned about the condition of your heart. Whether preaching God's Word or ministering in worship, the Word of God comes forth as scripture and is embedded in the depths of his lyrics and his call to worship.
Wherever God is in the worship experience that is where he is going. His music is about a passionate pursuit for the heart of God...the journey, the struggle, and the joys of what it means to be Christ-like.
Wil started his music career as a drummer and progressed to the keyboard and then later the organ. As a prolific writer, Wil has written over 100 songs one of which, "Jesus Will Make A Way," was voted for best original song from the Music Caucus of New York (1998). In 2000 he was named Best New Artist from the WALJO People's Choice Awards of North Carolina. He has worked with churches across this nation in the capacity of preacher, teacher and workshop instructor. His awesome teaching ability and style make him a sought after teacher and workshop instructor within the nation. Presently, Wil continues his pursuit to impact the world for Christ by sharing the word of God, his music, and his passion to see lives change for the better.
