Meet Us

Kristin is first and foremost a wife to her amazing husband and a mother to two beautiful girls. With a deep love for coffee, community, and serving others, she and her husband made the decision early on to homeschool. Christian school was not financially feasible, and public school was not the right fit — but homeschooling was part of her story. Raised in a homeschool family herself, Kristin watched her mother faithfully educate all four children, planting in her a desire to create the same intentional, Christ-centered foundation for her own daughters. What began as a step of obedience has become a shared family journey of growth — where her girls are learning and flourishing, and she continues to grow alongside them.

At eighteen, Kristin attended a two-year ministry school through her church, where seeds of leadership and discipleship were first planted. After graduation, she spent a year in England helping establish a youth ministry, serving on a worship team as a violinist, and witnessing a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit among young people — an experience that deeply shaped her faith and vision. A few years later, she spent another year ministering to youth in Austria. These formative seasons cultivated in her a heart for spiritual formation, servant leadership, and building environments where young people encounter purpose and belonging.

In 2023, Kristin and her daughters joined Rooted Co-op. Though initially intimidated by the idea of teaching a class, she quickly discovered that community thrives when we step forward in faith. Within weeks, Rooted felt like home. She carries the heart of Rooted deeply: Christ-centered families living life together, cultivating both skill and character, and drawing out the God-given design placed within each child.

Kristin also brings an entrepreneurial spirit to Cedars. In 2019, she founded Wooden Love by Kristin Dumberth, a woodworking business that grew from refinishing furniture to crafting full custom pieces. Entirely self-taught, she is committed to sharpening her skills and stewarding her creativity with excellence. Whether restoring furniture, mentoring youth, homeschooling her daughters, or serving families through Cedars, Kristin sees a consistent thread — God faithfully leading her, shaping her gifts, and preparing her to help build something lasting. She is passionate about creating spaces where children grow strong roots, families feel supported, and the Cedars vision continues to flourish.
