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.
