On Saturday (March 8), Ye, known to most as Kanye West, announced the return of his Sunday Service.
Ye, 47, who has collected 24 Grammy Awards throughout his career, first launched his contemporary church service in 2019. The services feature Ye and the Sunday Service Choir, a group Ye formed alongside choir director Jason White.
The Sunday Service Choir was featured on Ye’s highly decorated gospel album, “Jesus Is King.” The Sunday Service Choir followed up that album with its own Christmas album, titled “Jesus Is Born.”
Ye’s “Jesus Is King” was nominated for three Doves Awards. The following year, “Jesus Is King” landed Ye the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.
The Sunday Service started out as a private, invite-only event that featured multiple well-known celebrities, including his now ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, Kris Jenner, Travis Scott, Katy Perry, Chance The Rapper, and Orlando Bloom.
Ye subsequently made the service free to the public, holding his first event at the popular music festival Coachella on Easter Sunday (April 21, 2019). Since then, Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper, Dave Chappelle, 2 Chainz, Marylin Manson, Idris Elba, and Jaden Smith have all been seen worshiping at Ye’s Sunday Service.
Ye’s Sunday Service has featured preaching from Adam Tyson (who graduated from John MacArthur’s Master’s Seminary), Rich Wilkerson Jr., Jamal Bryant, and Joel Osteen.
On November 17, 2019, Ye teamed up with Osteen to hold a Sunday Service in the middle of a pond in Fayetteville, Georgia, where they famously appeared to be walking on water.

March’s event will be the first Sunday Service since 2021. It will also mark the first Sunday Service since Ye has reverted back to the controversial lifestyle that characterized him prior to his conversion to Christianity in 2019.
