1. Our youth program.

In my opinion we have one of the best youth programs in north Alabama! We also have a wonderful, amazing and Godly youth pastor I've ever seen!!! I love how we just don't come on Wednesday nights like a lot of churches out youth comes on Sunday mornings not just for Sunday school but also stays for big church right after and then they come back that night also! Our youth group has about a 100 of possibly even more and continues to grow.

2. Our college ministry.

We have one of the best college ministry programs. We call our college ministry Life because it is the beginning stages of adult life! We have a college right here in Florence called UNA or University of North Alabama and we have a lot of international students come from all over the world to UNA and we host a lot of them at our church.

Our church also cares so much about them that a lot of them are host homes to these internationals. That the beginning of every semester we try to do things to reach these new freshmen that don't know Jesus or doesn't have a church home. We meet every Wednesday at 8:30 but you can come early and hangout.

3. Our children ministry.

Our children ministry. Our children ministry is on firer! We have an amazing children's minister she is great with kids and parents both. We have kids stuff every Wednesday night and Sunday! We have a ton of programs for kids of all ages going from kindergarten to 6th grade I can't count on 1 hand what all we offer!!!! We also have great Sunday school teachers that actually spends time though out the week planning there lessons and not just on Saturday and our teachers care.

4. Our adult ministry.

We have a wonderful adult ministries; also, we have Sunday school classes. Everything from men's and women's classes to couples classes.

5. Our church staff.

I just can't say enough about our wonderful and amazing staff here at Underwood!!! I love our pastor and youth pastor they preach right from what God is saying they don't say what they won't to be what God wants them to say. They preaching has had a huge influence on my life and I'm sure a lot of other lives. Our children's minister is wonderful she had been there for me since I was a baby she has help me overcome my grandfathers death she even came all the way up to Nashville to check on us. They is so much more I could say but that about raps it up

6. Our Church Family.

Our members are all like family to everyone! We don't fight or be rude we pretty much get along and when someone is down we all pick him/her up and like I had had surgery the first of this year I think at least 30 of them ether came or called or texted me. There just amazing people!!!

7. Mission minded church.

This was one of the things that had kept me at my church!! We are a mission minded church!!! We go on more missions then I ever heard of I think we go on like 7 mission trips a year. Let's see if I can name some we go to Ukraine, Alaska, Texas, Guatemala, New Orleans and some more I just can't think of. And our church members are never afraid of going on a mission trip!


I hope that this may of inspired you to join a church family or even come visit with us. We would love to have you if that's the case, our service times are Sunday morning 9:00 - 10:20 a.m. and 10:20 - 11:30, though sometimes we go over. Sunday night 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. On Wednesday we have a supper at 5 cost is 5 dollars and services start at 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. and college ministry starts at 8:30 - 10:00 p.m. If you need anything else or more information go to our website.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
