The mainline Christian church is in serious decline. The value of denominationalism itself is in question. An answer to the decline of the mainline Christian church lies in a reimplementation of the principles of 'incarnational hospitality.' Incarnational hospitality involves the church interacting with its world ad Jesus did: incarnationally, conveying the living God into the world of people. This is done through the practice of the three principles of biblical hospitality: protection, provision, and renewal. The researcher demonstrated through a phenomenological study a significant link between the practice of incarnational hospitality and ministry vitality.
