To join, all you have to do is ... Ask a Mason:

Masons do not solicit for membership.

  • To join, all you have to do is ask a Mason. Preferably a Mason you know who is a member of the lodge you wish to join or ask the Secretary of the lodge you wish to join. You must fill out a Petition in your own hand and have two Masons that have known you for at least one year sign your Petition.
  • At Bethel Masonic Lodge No. 789, the initiation fee for all three degrees is $245.00 and the annual dues are $58.00.Return the completed Petition plus the initiation fee to the Lodge or have the Mason that provided the Petition to you return it to the Lodge for you.

If you do not know a Mason or having a problem finding a Mason to sign your Petition:

  •  Check the Lodge membership list. You may know some of the Lodge members as a neighbor were you live, work, play or go to church.
  • If you do not know any Masons, check the place you work, clubs, church and other organizations you may belong to. Some men do not let it be known that they are masons unless you ask around.

If you still can not find any Masons you know:

  • Visit or call the Lodge you wish to join. Talk with the Secretary or some other member before a meeting (ours are at 7:30 PM on the second Wednesday of every month except June and July) and get aquatinted with the members and officers of the Lodge.
  • Or come to any of the fund raisers, open events and open meetings to get acquainted with the Lodge members.
  • You can then request a Petition for membership.
