MARYVILLE, Tenn. — While the congregation at Cedar Point Church grows in its faith, members are starting a new community outreach that has them growing green, leafy veggies and lush tomatoes on an acre of land behind the church. Pastor Kurt Steinbach and his church have spent the past few weeks preparing the ground and installing a hydroponic system just outside the church’s back door. The tomatoes, lettuce, kale, spinach, eggplant, peppers, broccoli, cauliflower and beans will all be grown without any dirt.
