The choir has performed at festivals such as Coachella and the Hollywood Bowl and various churches and venues. They also have their Sunday Service tour, which was announced in 2020. Unfortunately, the time has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The choir has gained recognition for its unique style of gospel music, which both religious and secular audiences have praised. As a result, they have been featured in multiple media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Complex.

The song "Father Stretch" by the Sunday Service Choir recognizes various names used to reference God, such as Jehovah, Yahweh, and Adonai, before emphasizing the title "Father." This suggests that while there are many names by which God can be called, the most intimate and personal relationship between God and humanity is the one of father and child. The lyrics express a desire for God to be the sole help in difficult times, to provide blessings beyond what can be counted, and to have the power to change the world. This final theme is repeated throughout the song as the choir declares that Jesus is the only power that can take on the world and make a change for the better. Additionally, the song's use of the phrase "beautiful morning" invokes imagery of hope and positivity, indicating that even in the midst of difficult situations, the belief in God's power can bring joy and peace.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess [a]that Jesus [b]Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 19 We love [a]Him because He first loved us.
If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, [b]how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.
