Who Can Be a Mason
Who Can Be a Mason
Organizations around the world practice slightly different forms of Freemasonry. The Grand Lodge of Florida admits men age 18 and older who believe in a supreme being and are found to be of good moral character. To become a Mason, a person must be recommended by two current members of the Lodge and voted in unanimously by the members of a Lodge.

New members progress through three degrees of Freemasonry, culminating with the Master Mason degree. Each degree involves a ceremony where the moral and ethical teachings of Masonry are expressed and illustrated. One of the most rewarding parts of becoming a Mason is receiving your degrees—and supporting others as they get theirs.
There are three degrees, each containing unique life lessons.

How Do I Apply?
Candidates typically apply directly to the Lodge they intend to join. To do this, you can either approach a Lodge directly and request information or fill out this request for information, and we’ll reach out to help answer questions and connect you to a Lodge. If there are multiple Lodges in your area, it’s often a good idea to visit several. Since each Masonic Lodge has a unique identity, you’ll be able to tell which fits what you’re looking for.
