The first step is to ensure that you desire Joining Freemasonry out of your own free will, without compulsion, and with the conviction that Masonic Principles will improve your life. Explore the Masonic Philosophy and decide if you are ready to dedicate time and effort to Inner Perfection.

  2. You must believe in God, or the Great Architect of the Universe (G.A.O.T.U.).
