Mount Olive Lodge No. 79
Becoming a Mason
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Freemason. If you have come to this page you probably have some questions.
(1) What are the requirements for becoming a Mason?
Be a man who comes of his own free will.
Masons do not put on drives for membership. No one asks a man to join the fraternity. But a voluntary request for membership is simple to make.
A candidate must be at least 18 years of age.
Membership in a Masonic Lodge is open to all men 18 years of age or older — regardless of race, color, or religion. Our membership requirements are very clear.
Be of good morals, and of good reputation.
You’ll have to provide evidence of living a positive life through references from at least one Mason and three other people.
Belief in a Supreme Being
You must believe in a Supreme Being and the immortality of the soul. This belief is not proscribed — rather, we encourage you to be steadfast in the faith of your choice.
(2) Okay, I’m interested—how do I proceed?
If you know a Mason, ask him about membership. He will be glad to tell you all about the Craft and the the lodge, and he will give you a petition if you wish to join. If you do not know a Mason you can request assistance by filling out the contact us page requesting more information and someone will contact you.
