Applying For Membership
One of Masonry’s customs is not to solicit members; men must seek membership on their own through a Mason they know or simply by contacting a local lodge.
California Masonic membership is open to men age 18 or older who meet the qualifications and standards of character and intention, and who believe in a Supreme Being. Men of all ethnic and religious backgrounds are welcome.
A Mason who recommends you for membership will assist with completing and submitting the application. After submitting the application, you will be interviewed by members of the lodge you wish to join so they can learn more about you and you can learn more about Freemasonry. If the interview is favorable, your application is presented to the lodge for a vote. If the vote is affirmative, you receive the Entered Apprentice degree – the first degree of Freemasonry. When you advance through the next two degrees, you are a Master Mason and a full member of the fraternity.
How To Apply
If you are interested in submitting an application, and you meet the general requirements for membership, you may complete the request for information form and someone will contact you regarding membership. You may also call the lodge directly at (805) 966-4502.
Once we reach out, we’ll set up a meeting with you to get to know you. If we see potential, we’ll get you plugged in to our calendar and get you involved. Remember, the process will take time, and it will be up to you to ask for an application when you feel you’re ready.
