Freemasonry is a fraternal organization devoted to fellowship, moral discipline, and community assistance. Using the tools of operational Masonry it teaches men how to be better for themselves, their family, and their community.

Perspective Masons must be a man, of lawful age, vouched for by existing members, and complete an interview.

If you are interested in joining simply let a Mason in your life know.

Masonry requires belief in a higher power, a dedication to the community, and referral from upstanding members of community.

Adherence to Christianity or Judaism is not required. There are masons from all major faith traditions. e.g. Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, etc..

While ultimately who gets to join a lodge is up to a vote of the members, Masons come from diverse socio-economic, ethnic, and religious backgrounds. All that is required of you to be a Mason is that you believe in a higher power, be dedicated to your community, and strive for a deeper and more honest connection with yourself and others. It is a lifelong journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.

No. Freemasonry is an apolitical and non-religiously-affiliated organization.

While we do have a leadership, bi-laws, and edicts that should be followed we do not and will not require strict obedience to any person or group within Freemasonry.

We are merely a fraternal, community organization.

Anyone is free to join and leave when they would like.

Masonry is a secret society. We have certain rituals and information that we do not share until a person is initiated. This can be fertile ground for conspiracy theories, but they are not true.

Masons are leaders and do tend to end up in positions of leadership, but we are not trying to control the world.

Masons don’t worship Satan, perform sacrifices, or work with the illuminati.

We are a community organization that believes in friendship, morality, and brotherly love.

Worshipful has a few definitions. Like a lot of things in Freemasonry our traditions and language goes back centuries.

In old English worship can be defined as “a formal title of honor used in announcing or mentioning certain highly regarded or respected persons or groups:”

The title of Worshipful Master can be translated as Respected Leader and have the same effect.
