What is Freemasonry?
At one time in our life we may have known a man that was a Mason. It may have been a Grandfather or Great-Uncle. Who was this man with the big ring and what did it mean do be a Mason?
Masons are men who have joined together to improve themselves. They endeavor to extend Masonic lessons into their daily lives in order to become positvie influences in their homes, communities, nation, and throughout the world. They base their efforts on morality, justice, charity, truth and the laws of God.

The mission of Freemasonry is to promote a way of life that binds like minded men in a worldwide brotherhood that transcends all religious, ethnic, cultural, social and educational differences; by teaching the great principles of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth. Through outward expression of these, its fellowship, its compassion and its concern, we find ways in which to serve God, family,country, neighbors and self.

Simply put, the overall purpose of Masonry is to provide a way to help each member become a better person. We do not propose to take a bad man and make him good; rather, our aim is to take a good man and make him better. We try to build a better world by building better men to work in their own communities. Freemasonry believes in universal peace made possible by teaching its doctrine through the Brotherhood of Man and the Fatherhood of God.
