About
Members must be men, at least 18 years of age and of good moral character.
Freemasonry is not a religion. It only requires that its members believe in a Supreme Being.
Discussing politics or religion is forbidden in Lodge.
There is no national governing body for Freemasonry in the United States. Each jurisdiction governs itself independently.
Members pay a one-time initiation fee and annual dues that vary by Lodge.
The Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons is the oldest, largest and most widely known fraternal organization in the world. Volumes have been written about it. Yet, to many, Freemasonry remains a mystery.

Freemasonry Fact and Fiction
Freemasonry is a just an old social club, like “The Stonecutters” on “The Simpsons.”
Freemasons are seekers of knowledge and value education. Our efforts are applied toward making good men better through personal development. While there is a social aspect to the Fraternity, our true goal is to help each man grow as a person and to contribute to his community.
Freemasons are directly connected to the Knights Templar, as described in “The Da Vinci Code.”
While some theorize that the Knights Templar of the middle ages influenced Freemasonry, prevailing research and documentation continues to show that the Fraternity most likely developed out of operative stone guilds, evolving into the organization of today over several centuries.
