Freemasonry is built upon enduring principles:

We strive to live by Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth, within the Lodge and in the wider world.
A belief in a Supreme Being is an essential condition of membership.
Politics and religion are never discussed in Lodge.
Masonry is not a business network and does not promise financial advantage or commercial benefit.
While we support charitable causes both Masonic and non-Masonic, we are not a mutual benefit society.
Our first duty is always to family; Freemasonry must never come before loved ones.

Every prospective member should reflect carefully and be certain that:

He sincerely seeks intellectual and moral improvement, both for himself and for others.
He is willing to dedicate time, means, and effort to uphold the values of Freemasonry.
He looks for no commercial or social gain, but true fellowship and personal growth.
He can meet the modest financial commitments of Masonry without detriment to himself or his family.
He is available on Wednesdays, when Amwell Lodge holds its Regular Meetings and Lodge of Instruction.
