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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
