Then, what is Sunday Service? Here's your shortcut guide.

Is it a church building?

No. At least, non nevertheless.

It'southward substantially people gathering for song and prayer — so the hallmarks of a church — only information technology'south not registered under the United States Code to make information technology an official ane.

Due west's wife, Kim Kardashian West, described it as more of a musical ministry and Christian service that talks virtually Jesus and God.

For the fourth dimension being, West doesn't seem to desire to call it anything other than Sunday Service (which he applied to have trademarked, BTW).

He seems to be wanting to build a church though…

He applied to build a "meditation structure" on his ranch near Cody, Wyoming.

The awarding was denied after a last-infinitesimal modify to the building plans that included a residential space.

It'southward not clear if the residential infinite would have meant an extra room tacked on, or whether he wanted to add an entire house onto the plans.

When did it start?

At the beginning of January, 2019.

West began holding i-hour sessions every Sunday at different locations — his home or a rehearsal studio.

That led to performances in fields, amphitheatres, stadiums, festivals and 1 fourth dimension in a Houston jail.

Sometimes he even hosts pop-upwards services at established churches.

Did I see something about Justin Bieber performing?

If you did, and then you'd exist right.

He's not the only celebrity attend. A-listers that have been invited along then far include:

Can anyone get?

Deplorable plebs, it's invite simply.

But if you do desire to run into what all the hype is about, they are alive streamed on the Dominicus Service website.

Oh, and about that trademark...

Ah aye … West filed an application to the Usa Patent and Trademark Office in July, 2019, but it was rejected.

It turns out the trademark had been snapped up by a New York-based DJ named Jeff Jonas back in 2014.

What would West have done with it anyway?

According to the trademark awarding, sell clothes.
