WHAT IS FREEMASON

Freemasonry (or Masonry, for short) is one of the world’s most historic membership organizations, a 300-year-old worldwide fraternity of like-minded people committed to bettering themselves and their communities. Masonry encompasses a series of moral teachings based on allegory and the symbolism of ancient stone masonry. But we’re so much more than our history. We’re a way to find friendship, purpose, and connection to a better life and Living Standards.

At its core, Freemasonry is about:

 

  • True Friendship
    Many members meet their best friends through Freemasonry. That’s because Masonry offers a combination that’s hard to find anywhere else: shared traditions, shared purpose, and a shared commitment to fostering lifelong relationships.

 

  • Personal Development
    Ancient Freemasons focused on building structures. Today’s Masons focus on building character. We believe in strong values, and we embody them through our actions, our relationships, and our service to others.

 

  • Community Service
    Masons take an obligation to support those around them. Masons give back in a multitude of ways, from local charity drives to statewide efforts through the MasonNetwork.org

Who Can Be a Mason

Freemasonry is one of the world’s oldest and most respected fraternal organizations, emphasizing moral development, community service, and personal growth. Many people are curious about who can join this historic society. While the specific requirements can vary slightly between lodges and jurisdictions, there are general criteria that most Freemason lodges follow:

 

  1. Belief in a Higher Power
    Freemasonry is not a religion, but it requires members to have faith in a Supreme Being or higher power. This belief forms the foundation of the moral and ethical teachings within the organization.

  2. Adult Age Requirement
    Most lodges require applicants to be adults, typically at least 18 or 21 years old, depending on local regulations.

  3. Good Moral Character
    Freemasons value integrity, honesty, and respect for others. Applicants are usually expected to have a good reputation and a record of ethical behavior in their personal and professional life.

  4. Sound Mind and Body
    Physical and mental fitness is considered important to fully participate in the activities and responsibilities of the lodge.

  5. Free Will and Voluntary Membership
    Joining Freemasonry must be a personal choice. Candidates must express genuine interest and voluntarily petition to become a Member

 

In summary: Any adult of good character, who believes in a higher power, and is willing to actively contribute to personal growth and community service, can seek to become a Mason. Freemasonry welcomes individuals from all walks of life who are committed to ethical living and brotherhood.
