Becoming a member

Becoming a member of Freemasonry is a personal decision that offers a unique avenue for personal growth, fellowship, and the opportunity to make a difference in the world. It is worth considering if the values and principles of Freemasonry resonate with your own beliefs and if you are seeking a supportive community that promotes self-improvement and service to others. To become a member, there are certain requirements and expectations to consider:

1. The minimum age requirement is 21, unless your father is or was a Freemason, in which case the age of admission may be reduced to 18 at the discretion of the Lodge.

2. You should be in a financial position to support yourself as a member of the Lodge without causing detriment to your family or yourself.

3. You must come of your own free will and with a strong commitment to becoming a Freemason.

4. You need to be recommended by two Freemasons who can vouch for your character.

Additionally, to apply to become a member of Freemasonry, you must have a reputation of exemplary moral character in the community, believe in God, the Supreme Being, and be a loyal citizen willing to fulfill your duties to God, your neighbor, and yourself. Joining Freemasonry offers several compelling reasons, including personal growth, charity, ethics and morality, brotherhood, intellectual stimulation, and tradition and heritage. It is important to note that the decision to join Freemasonry should be based on personal interest and alignment with its values rather than external expectations. It is recommended to explore and understand the organization fully before making a commitment.
