About Us
Our Mission - Why We Exist
Outside the Lines Ministries is a nonprofit organization based in Kannapolis, NC that exists to share the love of Jesus with everyone, everywhere OUTSIDE the LINES (walls) of the church by providing safe, family-friendly events for children and their families in the city. We collaborate and connect with local churches, organizations and businesses in our community to accomplish this mission. We also network with the local school systems to provide a layer of support for the needs of the students and staff. Doing all these things – and more as opportunities arise – gives us occasions to help, love and serve our neighbors, all while building positive relationships with them.
Our Methods – How we connect
Providing fun, safe and free events is the center of what we do. We fulfill the need in our community for an outlet for neighbors to come together from all economic and ethnical backgrounds to have fun in the city. Unity in the community is at the heart of all we do.

We currently host a Spring event, The Community Cookout & Egg Hunt, a Fall event, called Sweet Street Trunk-or-Treat & Festival, and three Church in the Park events per year. Bears & Prayers, our newest program, launched at the end of 2022.
