Making true friends,
improving ourselves, having an impact
Masonry is the world’s first and largest fraternal organization. It is guided by the enduring belief that each man has a responsibility to make the world a better place. For 300 years, Freemasonry has enhanced and strengthened the character of individual men by providing opportunities for fellowship, charity, and the search for truth – within ourselves and the larger world.
The Mission of Table Mountain Lodge, founded in 1857, is to attract good men and help them to achieve their goals of seeking wisdom and self-improvement. We use symbols and allegories to promote and encourage personal growth, improving our own lives and the lives of those who surround us.
We take responsibility for the well-being of our brothers, our families, and our communities. We support public schools, the elderly, and other important charitable causes. We value respect, kindness, tolerance, and the differences between us – religious, ethnic, cultural, generational, and educational. We find strength in our diversity, and strive for harmony in our individual lives, our lodge, our country, and the world.
We meet the second Monday of each month at the Masonic Hall in Paradise. We host various charitable and educational events throughout the year, as well as social occasions. Some events are for members only, but many include our families, our friends, and members of the public.
Masonry is a community of men and their families who share similar beliefs and values. The fraternity finds it important to connect with other men of honor, compassion, love, trust, and knowledge, regardless of their race, color, religious beliefs, political views, sexual orientation, physical ability, citizenship, or national origin. We are friends and brothers, and are connected through this vital and uplifting organization of moral men.
Our continuing pursuit of truth, knowledge, ethics, and leadership skills makes us better men and brings more meaning to our lives. Learning the tenets of Freemasonry, paired with being an active part of our community, gives us the opportunity to develop leadership and organizational skills, and builds self-discipline through commitment and self-confidence.
As a member of the Freemasons, the Grand Lodge of California, and Table Mountain Lodge No. 124 we are a part of a worldwide organization that values tradition, history, and timeless wisdom. The traditions and core values of our fraternity are meaningful today and will endure for centuries to come because of our direct impact in our community, through our charities, and on a personal level.
Table Mountain Lodge membership is open to men 18 and 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.
One of Freemasonry’s customs is not to solicit members – men must seek membership on their own initiative. Anyone is welcome to request information about the fraternity.
If you are interested in applying for membership to our lodge, now is a good time to start. Please contact us to schedule a visit during an event, or request more information.
