The Super Bowl-day event comes on the heels of a one-and-a-half-hour service in December in which West joined longtime friend and pastor Rich Wilkerson, Jr. in front of a packed audience — including hundreds of thousands of followers online.
"He's been a faithful friend who has encouraged me, who's believed in me, seen things in me that I didn't see in myself," Wilkerson, who officiated Kim Kardashian and Kanye's wedding, said.
"I know in this new season you're in, there's sometimes a whole lot of criticism," the VOUS church pastor added. "I hope you know that all the people here at VOUS church, we love you; we're praying for you...I believe God is lifting you up for such a time as this."

West held a special midnight service Sunday in honor of his late friend Kobe Bryant.
"Kobe, We love you brother," he wrote in a tribute on Twitter. "We’re praying for your family and appreciate the life you’ve lived and all the inspiration you gave."
