Kanye West is in the midst of promoting his new album, Jesus is King, set to be heavily inspired by gospel music.
His choir – the Sunday Service Collective – is led by director Jason White, who conducted the ensemble, as well as 2,000 local volunteers in the crowd.

It follows similar services in Queens and Manhattan.
The rapper also premiered his new album and a documentary film to an exclusive audience in numerous cities.
At the event in New York, specially invited guests listened to the album and watched the documentary but were not allowed access to their phones throughout.
The soon-to-be-released album features heavily religious lyrics and themes. Some songs reportedly reference the 13th Amendment (the abolition of slavery) and President Donald Trump.
Kanye told the crowd: I came to know the truth and joy of Jesus. This album is an expression of the gospel.

Pundits believe the album should now be out by Tuesday.
