Carrie Underwood surprised many when she helped with leading worship at a Tennessee Church.
Most churches have a familiar, predictable flow to their Sunday morning services. Typically, there is a small portion at the beginning in which the church leaders take time to recognize and welcome everyone to church. It makes perfect sense. You want to make everyone feel welcome and that their presence is appreciated.

Next, churches will move into their praise and worship portion. Usually, churches will sing a handful of songs. Some may sing a couple, while others could sing as many as five or six. This all happens before the pastor brings the message that the Lord has laid on his heart for that week. There may be some slight differences, but for the most part, that is how many churches organize their Sunday morning service.

According to CCM Magazine, they had a former American Idol and Grammy Award-winning singer unexpectedly help lead their worship service.

In the clip posted on social media, Carrie appears on stage without any announcement about her presence. Along with the choir and the other musicians on stage, Carrie joins in and sings a handful of praise and worship songs, including "Goodness of God," "I Thank God" and others.
Carrie's appearance on stage at the Tennessee church should not surprise many. She has been very outspoken about her faith in the past. In an interview with the Cincinnati Enquirer, Carrie specifically mentioned how much her faith has impacted her.
