After the event, his wife, Kim Kardashian, took to her Instagram page to explain the genesis of the Sunday Service and why it means so much to her husband.

“Sunday Service was so special to experience here at Coachella especially for my first time here!,” she wrote.

“Kanye started Sunday Service for healing for himself and his close friends and family. He had this vision of starting a church for few years and it was magical seeing everyone else get to experience it. I’m so proud of you babe for doing exactly whats in your heart,” she continued.
