The absolute requirements for becoming a Mason are:
Be a man, at least 21 years old
Have belief in a Supreme Being (of any faith, no particular religion or faith is required or excluded, all are welcome.)

If you are a family man, Masonry considers that your family obligations come FIRST, so you must be sure that:
You have the time to participate (usually two or three evenings/month at first for meetings and instruction, and then at least one evening per month for meetings from then on — often more if you get involved in lodge activities).

You should be coming to Masonry “of your own free will and accord”, to learn to improve yourself and to enjoy the company of other good people, not because someone keeps pestering you to join or because you think it will help you “get ahead” in business.
To join, all you have to do ask a Mason:
