How to become Freemason?

One of Freemasonry's customs is not to solicit members. However, anyone should feel free to approach any Mason to seek further information.

Freemasonry is a multi-racial and multi-cultural organisation. It has attracted men of goodwill from all sectors of the community into membership. The doors of Freemasonry are open to men who seek harmony with their fellow man, feel the need for self-improvement and wish to participate in making this world a better place in which to live.

Membership in Freemasonry is based on three unwavering principles.

The first, is a belief in a Supreme Being.

You will note that we do not state a belief in God. We recognize that each man must allow his life to be guided by his own principles and we do not wish to impose a primarily Christian structure upon anyone. Freemasonry is founded on the belief in the Brotherhood of Man under the Fatherhood of God. However, that god, in the broadest sense, can take many names. We welcome men of all cultures and all faiths. What we have in common is a belief in a single, omnipotent being who above all guides our destinies.

The second is to be of the mature age of 21 years.

Thirdly, and of greatest importance, a man must be judged to be of good moral character.

This requires that someone who is a Freemason knows you and is willing to attest to your character.

If you don’t know any Freemasons, please don’t be discouraged. Feel free to drop us a message or join us at the Lodge outside of our regular meetings—we’d be delighted to have a chat with you.

If you feel that you adhere to those principles, you must first be acquainted with at least two Freemasons who are willing to sponsor your application. Ask these Freemasons and they will furnish you with a form of application and return the form to your local Lodge on your behalf. Further inquiry into your character will be made following this application and you will then be called along to the Lodge to be interviewed by a panel giving you the chance to satisfy yourself that you wish to become a Freemason.
