In the dedication of time, talents and the tithe to God.

In the sanctity of the home, the necessity of a family altar.

In the efficacy of prayer both in crisis and in tranquility.

In adult baptism by immersion in water of a believer in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

In Holy Communion where the members of the Church by the sacred use of bread and wine are to commemorate together the mighty acts of God in Christ, preceded always by solemn self-examination.
