Freemasonry in ormond since 1959
We believe in community, family, and brotherhood!
Ormond Beach Masonic Lodge No. 326 was chartered on April 23, 1959. Currently our oldest brother is 98 years old and our youngest brother is 26 years old. Our average age of a typical brother is 69 years young.
Our stated communications are on the second and fourth Tuesday each month and our lodge building is located at 270 Kenilworth Avenue in Ormond Beach, Florida. We proudly serve the area of northeast Volusia County including the cities of Ormond Beach, Ormond By The Sea, Daytona Beach, Holly Hill, and the surrounding distinctive communities in the area.
A little history on how Masonry started
Our Fraternity has endured over the centuries because it is strongly founded upon truly timeless beliefs, values, and virtues. Among our most deeply-held values are charity, friendship, and brotherly love, which are integral parts of our goals of “making good men better” and which are the building blocks of living according to Masonic teachings. Freemasonry has also endured for so long by wisely avoiding the issues that have torn apart families, societies, and nations throughout history. For example, we do not address matters of religion or politics in the lodge. Ours is a fraternity of friends and brothers, and we do not allow outside influences to divide us.
In Florida, the requirements to apply for membership in the Fraternity are simple: one must be a man, 18 years of age or older, with a belief in “a Supreme Being” (based on any religion: we do not require any specific faith, but must not be an atheist), and of good character. A man interested in joining must contact a lodge or member and request an application. We are not allowed to solicit members.
