CARRIE UNDERWOOD’S DUET PARTNER STEALS THE SHOW IN POWERFUL CHURCH PERFORMANCE OF “GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS”
Country superstar Carrie Underwood made a surprise appearance at her home church, Rolling Hills Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee, joining the worship team on Sunday, August 9, 2026. While Underwood’s presence is always a highlight for the congregation, it was her duet partner who unexpectedly captured the spotlight during their performance.
A Show-Stealing Performance
In a live rendition of the classic hymn “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” Underwood shared lead vocal duties with Jennifer Akers, the Worship Pastor at Rolling Hills Community Church.
While the original track on Underwood’s 2021 gospel album My Savior featured legendary gospel artist CeCe Winans, Akers stepped up with an exceptional vocal performance that nearly stole the show from the country icon. Social media clips of the duet quickly circulated across platforms like TikTok, drawing widespread praise for Akers’ powerful vocals alongside Underwood.
Deep Roots in Gospel Music
Underwood, who was raised singing in her local church in Checotah, Oklahoma, periodically joins the worship team at Rolling Hills during special services throughout the year. During the Sunday service, she also led the congregation in Hillsong Worship’s “What A Beautiful Name.”
The unexpected moment highlighted both Underwood’s ongoing commitment to her faith community and the incredible talent within her local church’s worship team.
