FAQWhat is Freemasonry?
“A Beautiful System Of Morality, Veiled In Allegory, Illustrated By Symbols.”
A Beautiful System Of Morality
Reminds us of God's system, or pattern, which He established for us to follow each day of our lives. That system is God's Moral Law — The Ten Commandments.
Veiled in Allegory
The Hidden Mysteries of Freemasonry can only be found and understood when we search our rituals, dictionaries and Holy Bibles for greater depth and understanding.
Illustrated By Symbols
Like the symbols that we display openly, our signs, words, grips, and characters each carry a definite surface meaning — yet below that surface lies deeper allegory.
Can I become a Freemason?
Membership is restricted to men over the age of 21 who are prepared to profess a belief in God.
Three questions asked of candidates:
Do you believe in the existence of a Supreme Being?
Do you believe that the Supreme Being will punish vice and reward virtue?
Do you believe that Supreme Being has revealed His will to man?
ci·vil·i·ty
/səˈvilədē/ — formal politeness and courtesy in behavior or speech.
Ask yourself these questions:
— Does this need to be said?
— Does it need to be said right now?
— And does it need to be said by me?
The Four Pillars of Civility:
Drop all assumptions.
Set honest goals for the conversation.
Listen actively. A skill that must be learned.
Keep returning to the conversation. Civility is not built overnight.

Every man comes of his own free will and accord. One may join to associate with men who believe only by improving themselves can they improve the world. Another for charitable inclinations. Many join because they admired a friend or relative who was a freemason.
All who join discover a bond of brotherly affection and a community of mutual support.
