Freemasonry isn’t about secret handshakes or old myths — it’s about building better people and stronger communities. At Orange Grove Lodge, Masons come together to reflect on timeless lessons, practice kindness, and support one another through life’s ups and downs.
Think of it this way:
Self-Improvement – We challenge ourselves to grow in character and purpose.
Brotherhood – A genuine circle of support and friendship.
Community Service – Giving back to make a real difference where we live.
Reflection – Taking time to pause, think deeply, and live with intention.
Freemasonry is a journey, not a destination. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to live with purpose while being part of something bigger than yourself, this is where the path begins.
The Square and Compass is more than a logo—it’s a lesson in living. The square reminds us to act with integrity. The compass shows us how to stay in balance with others. Together, they guide us to think and act in ways that lift us and those around us.
In Masonry, “brotherhood” means real connection - not private events or mystery. We build bonds that hold when life tests you. We’re a mix of backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. What unites us? Honor, friendship, support and knowing you belong. We’re all in this together.
Orange Grove and other Blue Lodges have a simple rule: serve your neighbors. Whether it’s canned food drives or meaningful events with first responders, we show up, give back, and make a real difference in lives that need it. That's where impact lives.
We build better futures by investing in education. From statewide scholarship programs to local youth opportunities, Masonic Lodges take pride in supporting students - today’s learners who’ll lead tomorrow. It’s our way of paying kindness forward.
If you’re here, odds are you're searching for something meaningful. Freemasonry isn’t about mystery for mystery’s sake; it's about becoming a better you. Orange Grove Lodge teaches members through a journey of growth, values, and connection.
The following are common questions we receive.
What You Can Expect
When you step into Orange Grove Lodge, here’s what to expect:
⬩ A warm welcome. You’ll meet brothers who’ve walked this path and are glad to share.
⬩ Rituals rich in symbolism - timeless tools designed to teach virtues like patience, courage, wisdom.
⬩ Opportunities to lead. As you grow, you’ll be asked to serve, mentor, organize, and help guide others.
⬩ Personal growth. Faith, family, work - everything starts to align differently when your inner life connects with purpose.
⬩ Service. Community involvement, charity, helping others are core to what we do.
Freemasonry is not a religion. It’s a fraternity built on shared values like integrity, charity, and respect. Men of all faiths are welcome, and religious or political debates stay outside the lodge. What unites us is simple: the desire to become better men while supporting one another along the way.
Character isn’t measured by wealth, titles, or status—it’s revealed in how we live each day. In Freemasonry, members commit to a lifelong pursuit of self-improvement, not for recognition but for the quiet strength it builds within. To be a Mason is to choose integrity when no one is watching, to offer compassion when it’s least expected, and to uphold fairness when it would be easier not to. It’s a path that asks: What kind of man do you want to be remembered as? Through fellowship, reflection, and tradition, Masons learn that true character isn’t taught in a book—it’s forged in action, tested in challenge, and proven in service to others.
