ABOUT US
Our Founder
My Father’s House was born from a calling to create spaces where people can slow down, reflect, and be restored. After more than three decades in ministry and leadership, my heart is to offer a place rooted in faith, hospitality, and beauty—where leaders are refreshed, souls are renewed, and covenants are honored and celebrated.
Joani Wangerin
Founder & Creative Director
My Father’s House is being thoughtfully built in seasons—each one intentional, prayerful, and rooted in vision. What began as a calling is now taking shape through careful restoration, creation, and preparation. We invite you to follow along as the house and grounds are brought to life, and to be part of the early chapters of what is unfolding here.
The Journey
Through careful restoration and preparation, a place is being formed — one that will welcome rest, gathering, and meaningful beginnings.

A glimpse of the vision that is guiding the journey.
Demolition & Construction
What once held decades of life is being
gently opened and reshaped.
Walls are removed, ceilings lifted, and light is invited back in — not to erase what has been, but to
make room for what is coming.
This is careful work, done with respect and intention, honoring the story already written while preparing space for new ones to unfold.
My Father’s House is being carefully restored and expanded —
creating space for rest and covenantal moments, both quiet and celebrated.
The First Stage of My Father's House Remodel began December 2025
Foundations
Old & New
Long before the rooms are finished and the tables are set, the work begins beneath the surface.
Concrete is poured, lines are drawn, and what will never be seen is given the greatest care.
These foundations are laid quietly and faithfully — creating strength, stability, and trust for all that will be built upon them.
Before anything beautiful can rise, the ground must be
broken and prepared with care.
The Foundation for My Father's House Addition was poured January 2026

Cultivating the Ground
The land is being prepared with vision and hope.
Paths imagined, spaces marked, and room made for gathering, rest, and renewal.

Soil Preparation begins February 2026 and Landscaping March 2026
The Future
My Father’s House is being created with care, intention, and reverence for both land and legacy. Rather than building everything at once, the property is unfolding in thoughtful phases—each one opening new spaces for rest, prayer, and gathering.
The land is being readied for what is to come — where paths will lead, tables will gather, and life will be gently formed.

Phase I
The House & The Heart
This first phase establishes the foundation of My Father’s House.
The main home is being fully remodeled and expanded to welcome intimate retreats, quiet stays, and small celebrations.
Alongside the house, simple prayer gardens, pathways, and gathering spaces begin to shape the land into a place of reflection and renewal.

Where the heart is formed.
Phase II
The Grounds & The Table
As the land opens further, the grounds are developed to welcome larger gatherings.
Walking paths, expanded gardens, and dedicated prayer spaces take shape, while a thoughtfully placed event tent allows for outdoor luncheons, retreats, and garden weddings.
This phase creates room for community—without losing the intimacy that defines My Father’s House.
Where the table is set.
Phase III
The Land & The Legacy
In this phase, the land itself begins to tell the story.
A vineyard and lavender fields are planted, along with orchard trees and cultivated pathways.
These living landscapes reflect growth, stewardship, and the beauty of patient formation—becoming both a visual signature and a meaningful part of the retreat experience.
Where fruit is born.
Phase IV
The Gathering House
The final phase introduces a permanent gathering space designed with the same French-country warmth and intentional scale as the rest of the property.
This future event venue will support larger celebrations, retreats, and gatherings—while remaining rooted in the spirit of hospitality, beauty, and reverence that defines My Father’s House.
