The community of ninethirtyone grew out of a Bible study that was started in February 2006 with Trinity Lutheran Church and School. The Bible study included the elements of relevant teaching and contemporary worship music.

Today, ninethirtyone is a worshipping community and the first multi-site of Trinity Lutheran Church and School.

Our identity comes from a story in the 9th chapter in the book of Matthew. The story is about a couple of blind guys who followed Jesus after he had raised a young girl back to life. They were so amazed that they continued to follow him asking for his help. Jesus came to them and asked if they thought he could make them see. They said that they did and then he touched their eyes. They immediately could see. Jesus wasn't ready to be revealed as the Messiah and so he told them not to tell anyone. Their experience with Jesus was so life changing, that they couldn't help but express their new hope and joy with everyone.

Our hope at ninethirtyone is that everyone will experience Jesus in such a way that they cannot contain their excitement.
