To Be A Mason, Ask A Mason!
To become a member of this ancient and honorable Fraternity,
a man must apply of his own free will and accord and with an open heart. Invitations are not actively issued to prospective
members, nor are members solicited. If a person is interested in joining, he should literally ask a Mason
for more information or contact the Grand Lodge of Virginia. You may choose to proceed today, by completing the
form at the bottom of this page, or contact the Lodge Secretary for assistance via mailto:masonic112@earthlink.net.
Membership Standards
Membership is for men, 18 years of age or older, who meet the
qualifications and standards of character and reputation, who are of good moral character, and who believe in the existence
of a supreme being.
A man who wants to join a Lodge must be recommended by two Master
Masons in good standing in any Lodge recognized by the Grand Lodge of Virginia. He must understand that his character
will be investigated. After approval by the members of that Lodge, he will be accepted as an applicant for membership
in Freemasonry.
Any man who becomes a Mason is taught a pattern for living with
respect to: reverence, morality, kindness, honesty, dependability, and compassion. He must be prepared to honor
his country, uphold its laws and respect those in authority. He must be prepared to maintain honorable relations with
others and be willing to share in Masonic activities.

Freemasonry, the world's oldest
Fraternal organization!
It has perservered through the years, despite the attacks of the ignorant
and the powerful, because it teaches toleration for all faiths, acceptance of all men of good character, and support of free
government institutions, wherever found. Freemasons are loyal citizens, support a God-centered life, and emphasize man's
duty to aid his fellowman.
The doors of Freemasonry are open to men who seek harmony with
their fellowman, feel the need for self-improvement and wish to participate in making the world a better place to live.
