Our Story &
The Heart Behind UNDGNFD
UNDGNFD Church was born out of a simple idea to serve the hunger for the presence of God in a group of students who couldn't find a space to be genuinely fed. What started as an innocent effort to love and guide young people quickly expanded into late-night prayer calls, intimate prayer nights that turned into spontaneous worship, home visits to offer Holy Spirit-led biblical counsel, local outreach initiatives, and ultimately a live worship recording that launched the vision into motion. What began as a humble commitment to serve a few has grown into a calling to steward many.
Our heartbeat is rooted in the story of King David bringing the Ark of the Covenant back into Jerusalem. As he danced before the Lord with unreserved praise, he was mocked for his enthusiasm. David responded with a conviction that defines our house in 2 Samuel 6:22:
"I will become even more undignified than this."
We are UNDIGINFIED because we are called to help bring the tangible presence of God back into our city. Our conviction will not allow us to be discouraged, intimidated, or swayed by a culture that alienates those who live a set-apart life. We do not measure our standards by societal norms or religious performance; we align our lives and our church with the standards the Lord delights in as the Body of Christ. Regardless of how foolish it may look to the world, we are building a church family committed to abandoning pride to live, worship, and serve unhindered for the Lord.
We believe that how a house is built determines how long it stands. We are currently stewarding a foundational season of infancy of laying deep roots through intentional prayer, midweek Bible studies, monthly worship gatherings, and local community outreach as we prepare for our official public launch in Fall 2027.
Whether you are seeking a spiritual home to grow in or a partner looking to seed into what God is doing in South Florida, you are part of this story.
Meet Our Lead Pastors
Junior Paul
Co-Pastor
Junior Paul’s heart for ministry was shaped through years of music, creative expression, and mentoring youth. Following the tragic loss of his mother at eighteen, Junior entered a dark season of grief where unhealthy habits eventually spiraled into deep addictions.
Years later Junior experienced a radical, miraculous encounter with God that fundamentally transformed his life, broke the chains of addiction, and set him on a new path. That day, his hunger for the Lord ignited, and his desire to help people evolved into a burning passion to see others encounter the life-changing power of Jesus for themselves.
In the year of 2022, Junior married his wife, Evonie, and together they created a safe space to learn more about God right in their home. What began as a local gathering of young people quickly grew into a larger divine assignment: planting UNDGNFD Church in South Florida to raise up a people that live unashamed for Christ.
In addition to his pastoral calling, Junior is an accomplished musician and music producer, he carries a deep grace for preaching, teaching, and pulpit ministry. Marked by a humble, servant-first posture, Pastor Junior is dedicated to equipping the saints, opening up the Word, and helping build an authentic sanctuary for the presence of God in South Florida.
Evonie Judith Paul
Co-Pastor
Pastor Evonie’s journey with Jesus began in a moment of profound, divine intervention. At fifteen years old, facing a dark and desperate decision to end her life, God placed a relentless friend in her path after school who made it their personal mission to get her to a Wednesday night youth service.
That evening, Evonie encountered the real, tangible presence of Jesus: a moment that radically redirected the trajectory of her life. A few months later, at a youth retreat, she was baptized in water, officially laying down her old life and surrendering everything to Christ.
Following her decision to follow Jesus, God’s grace moved rapidly over her life. By sixteen, Evonie was appointed to lead her church’s dance ministry, a mantle of creative, presence-driven worship she faithfully carried and stewarded for over a decade. Her leadership quickly expanded across the house, serving as a student leader, youth ministry secretary, and eventually stepping into adult leadership to mentor the next generation.
From her earliest years in youth ministry, Evonie was marked by strong spiritual gifts experiencing the crazy realities of the prophetic and deliverance ministry firsthand. These early encounters forged her discernment and a lifelong hunger for spiritual freedom, holiness, and the uncompromised power of the Holy Spirit. Grounded in her own story of miraculous redemption, Pastor Evonie’s heart is to see people set free from bondage, walking in their divine calling, and encountering the life-transforming love of Jesus.
