Freemasonry is open to any man regardless of race, religion, nationality, social status or wealth as long as they hold a belief in a supreme being and have good moral character. Freemasonry does not interfere with duties that a man owes to his God, his country, his neighbors or his family. It helps a good man become a better man, father, husband, brother or son.
The basic qualifications for admission are that you are a man, of 18 years or older, and have a belief in a Supreme Being. If you meet these qualifications, we recommend you read about Freemasonry, here on our site and elsewhere, and speak with a family member, friend, or other person you know to be a member. He may be able to provide useful information to you about the Fraternity that may help you decide whether you wish to pursue membership. He may also be able to refer you to one or more lodges that meet in your neighborhood, or one particularly suited to your candidacy.
Those wishing to join Freemasonry must ask a member. Freemasons do not solicit members. You must approach a Freemason or Masonic lodge on your own accord in order to be considered for the degrees of Freemasonry. To find your local Lodge please select the state below.
