Interested in Joining

Freemasonry is a fraternity of good men who strive to become better. We welcome men of good character, who believe in a Supreme Being, and who desire to make positive contributions to themselves, their families, and their communities.

What is Freemasonry?

At its core, Freemasonry is a system of moral and ethical teachings using the symbols and tools of the ancient stonemason’s trade. It encourages personal growth, integrity, brotherhood, charity, and lifelong learning — all within a supportive environment of like-minded men.

Who Can Join?

To become a Mason at Franklin Lodge #25, you must:

• Be a man, at least 18 years of age

• Believe in a Supreme Being (no specific religion required)

• Be of good moral character

• Come recommended by current members

No one is ever asked to join Freemasonry — it is a choice you must make of your own free will. We are happy to answer any questions you may have.
