What is Freemasonry?
In a world of mass-manufactured goods and shallow swiping, Freemasonry offers something unique and timeless — the tradition of teaching through experience and mentorship.
Freemasonry is a philosophical system of morality taught through ritual and the use of symbols. The Masonic degrees are presented as a succession of ritualistic ceremonies — similar to a play or drama, but one that you actually experience, not merely watch. The lessons themselves may not be unique to other belief systems, but are presented in such a distinctive way that they broaden your perspective and understanding.
Freemasonry is the world’s oldest and largest fraternity, present in nearly every free country. Masonry’s goal is to improve the individual, thus bettering society — one man at a time.
Who We Are
We are men — brothers, friends, husbands, fathers, and Freemasons. You may have known a mason without realizing it: your teacher, the postman, your mechanic, the mayor, or the businessman who created a product you just ordered online. Masons come from all walks of life. The common thread that binds us is a desire for knowledge and a sincere wish to be of greater service to our fellow man.
Many great men throughout history were Masons, including:

Requirements
While Freemasonry is religious in nature, it is not a religion. It does not have doctrines or dogma required for membership other than a belief in a supreme being. Any man may hold his own belief in a supreme being. What unites us is the common belief in the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man.
How to Join
A common misconception is that you must be invited to join. In fact, the opposite is true — you must ask. This shows your own initiative.
Visit & meet members
Every lodge is different. Come to a public event, meet brothers, and find the lodge that resonates with you.
Submit your petition
When ready, submit a petition with character references and two Masonic references — one of whom must have known you for at least six months.
Meet the committee
After your petition is read at the monthly business meeting (usually first Monday), a committee reaches out to learn about your motives and answer your questions. Your spouse is welcome to attend.
Vote & initiation
The following month, the membership votes on your application. If elected, the Lodge Secretary contacts you to arrange your initiation date.
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”
