Carrie Underwood Makes Surprise Appearance At Nashville-Area Church To Sing With The Worship Team

Taking them to church… literally.

Over the weekend, Carrie Underwood made a surprise appearance at Rolling Hills Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee, to lead worship in her community, and it’s not the first time she’s done it, either.

A member of the church, Underwood previously performed Bethel Music’s “Goodness of God” for the congregation last year, and during the worship time this past Sunday, Carrie got onstage with the rest of the worship team to sing “Pour Your Spirit Out,” a song by Thrive Worship that was released in 2021 on their Let’s Have Church album.

Of course, the country star is very open about her faith, and released an incredible gospel album My Savior in 2021, which she won the Best Roots Gospel Album Grammy for the following year.  The album, which includes tons of classic hymns like “Old Rugged Cross”, “How Great Thou Art”, and “Nothing but the Blood of Jesus”, was inspired by Carrie’s experiences singing in church growing up, and it was easily one of my favorite records of 2021.

During press time after her win, she was asked if this one means just a little bit more than her seven other Grammys, simply due to the personal sentiment and meaning behind every song.

She immediately teared up answering the question, and you could feel just how much it meant to her to win something for this record in particular:

“I’m gonna immediately start crying… I feel like it’s more important, ‘cuz I feel like this is one of the most important bodies of work I’ve ever been apart of, been able to do. This is one thing that I’ve wanted to do literally my whole career, I’ve wanted to make this alum, and I got to. And this just means the world to me. Man, I didn’t last any length of time, did I?”

If you haven’t check it out yet, I highly recommend doing so.

Not only is it a fantastic gospel record from top to bottom that will remind you of Sunday mornings in church, it’s easily the most country project she’s ever put out. I can’t say enough good things about it.

It’s just another example of her sharing her faith through beautiful music, and Thrive Worship shared a clip from the online church livestream saying they were “so thankful” to see how God is using their song to reach others, obviously excited about how cool it was that Carrie chose that one to sing:

“Is this real life?? We are so thankful to see how God is using this song in His church. What an honor.”

I love hearing Carrie sing any sort of Christian or gospel music because she has such a gift for it, and I would love to see her do another gospel record one day.

Here’s a clip from the worship, we’ll share the whole service when it becomes available:
