There is only one way for you to become a Mason. Ask one!

Our members are presidents and monarchs, royalty, CEOs, presidents of businesses, and celebreties. Our members are fathers, sons, husbands, and neighbors. Our members are office works, farmers, mail carriers, teachers, police officers, and fireman.

Once you start to look, you will find Masons throughout your community. We are one of the oldest and largest fraternal organizations in the world. Masonry is a way of life; an "organization of men bound together with a philosophy of moral standards, mutual understanding, and Brotherhood in which all men are on the level and equal" (statement from the Michigan Grand Lodge).

Our membership is open to good men, over the age of 18, who believe in God (not atheist, we are open to all religions).
