WELCOME In.

Do you want to rewind the clock a bit and go back to what felt like a simpler time? A more connected time? You’re not alone and the good news is, the answer is really simple: practice hospitality. Hospitality starts in the home, but it doesn’t end there - it is a way of life. Through practicing hospitality you not only cultivate belonging for others, you are transformed too.

My name’s Alexa and I’ve seen hospitality change lives -including my own. It’s often overlooked, but when we practice hospitality, we are truly living the abundant life. I offer workshops, blog posts and free resources to teach and mostly encourage you in hospitality. The reality is, you have much of what you need, a lot of the time, you just need someone on the journey with you. So let’s journey together.

Welcome to Grace & Cherish. Onward in hope.

What we do

HOME DESIGN

Reimagine home design through hospitality and spiritual formation to cultivate belonging and connection that transforms your life and those around you. At some point, you’re going to think about some type of work on your home, whether getting a rug or a full on renovation, why not do it all, with hospitality in mind.

THE GARDEN

Four years ago we took a chance and purchased 10 acres with a dream to show hospitality, which includes growing food for us and others. We’re sharing the journey - successes, failures, tips and more - as we make a beautiful and hospitable place and help you create one too. Read the blog and watch Making Philo on YouTube.

HOSPITALITY

Our mission is to live hospitable lives that reflect the hospitable heart of God toward us. And Grace & Cherish exists to help you do it, too. The Third Chair is our blog (and Substack) with reflections on hospitality and practicing presence with the Holy Spirit in every day life.
