How To Join
The absolute requirements for becoming a Mason are :
Be a man, at least 21 years old.
Have belief in a Supreme Being (of any faith. No particular religion or faith is required or excluded. All are welcome.)
Also:
You should be someone who does, or wants to learn to enjoy the company of other men from all different social classes, faiths, backgrounds, races, countries, etc. Masonry is universal in its ideals.
If you are a family man, Masonry considers that your family obligations comes First, so you must be sure that you have the time to participate (usually two or three evenings/month at first for meetings and instruction, and then at least one evening per month for meetings from then
on -- often more if you get involved in lodge activities.)
You can afford the initiation fees and the annual dues without hardship to yourself or your family.
You should be coming to Masonry "of your own free will and accord", to learn to improve yourself and to enjoy the company of other good people, not because someone keeps pestering you to join or because you think it will help you "get ahead" in business.
he man who might be thinking of making application for Masonic membership solely out of curiosity concerning the secrets of Masonry
will be well advised to let his curiosity lead him down to other and less demanding paths.
