Visitation Questions
i’m not a mason. Can I visit the Lodge if I’m interested in joining?
Yes — visitors interested in Freemasonry are welcome. You’re invited to join us for our pre-meeting meal at 6:30 PM (EST) on regular meeting nights, as well as for any non-tiled events throughout the year. Our regular meetings, called Stated Communications, are “tiled” and limited to Masons only. If you’d like to see upcoming events or learn more about joining, please visit our Grandview Lodge Locator page. We’d be glad to get to know you and answer any questions you may have.
what is your dress code?
Our dress code for regular Stated Communications is business casual. For degree work, attire is at the discretion of the Master; however, a coat and tie is preferred.
do you have a meal prior to your stated communication?
Yes. We offer a meal prior to our Stated Communication, which begins at 6:30 PM (EST). A customary donation of $10 is requested.
I am a master mason but not a memeber of your lodge. how can i visit?
We are pleased to welcome visiting Master Masons. To visit our lodge, you must be a Master Mason in good standing and have a current dues card. If you are visiting as the guest of one of our members, and he is able to vouch for you, no further steps are required. Otherwise, please be prepared for a friendly examination in accordance with Masonic custom.
i’m visiting from another state or another country. what should i do?
We are happy to welcome visitors from other states or countries. We kindly ask that you contact our Lodge Secretary in advance of your visit to confirm the details of our Stated Communication and to ensure that your Grand Lodge is in amity with ours.
are you ‘af & Am’ or ‘f & am’?
We are an AF & AM lodge under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of North Carolina. It is worth noting that AF & AM (Ancient Free and Accepted Masons) and F & AM (Free and Accepted Masons) mainly represents historical traditions, and there is no difference today in Masonic principles, legitimacy, or the member experience.
Our Charities
Our Masons support many charities individually but collectively we support our main NC Masonic Charities:
Masonic Home for Children at Oxford
MHCO exists for one purpose — to help children who need a stable, caring and loving home. We do not replace a family — we provide. We teach, guide, nurture, and share, focusing on life both at and after MHCO, so we can help a child determine his or her own path for the future.
Whitestone A Masonic and Eastern Star Community
WhiteStone is a senior living community in Greensboro, North Carolina. More specifically, we’re a Life Plan Community, also known as a Continuing Care Retirement Community. We offer an independent lifestyle along with a full continuum of care.
North Carolina Masonic Foundation
For more than 90 years, brothers with a gift for finance have grown and nurtured that original fund into a $80 million foundation that helps fund operations at the Masonic Home for Children at Oxford and WhiteStone: A Masonic and Eastern Star Community in Greensboro.
What is Freemasonry?
Freemasonry is a fraternal organization that traces its origins back to the late 16th or early 17th century. It is often described as a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. Freemasonry places a strong emphasis on moral and ethical teachings, self-improvement, and brotherhood. Its teachings are conveyed through a series of ceremonies and rituals, often involving symbolic gestures and allegorical stories. These rituals are meant to encourage self-reflection, personal development, and a sense of community among Freemasons. Freemasonry is organized into independent lodges that are typically governed by a Grand Lodge at the regional or national level. Lodges provide a social environment for members to interact, discuss philosophical ideas, and engage in charitable activities. Freemasonry is not a religion, although it requires its members to believe in a higher power, often referred to as the Great Architect of the Universe.
