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 primary mission of the Menifee Valley Masonic Lodge is to help men improve their relationships with God, their family, their community, and most importantly, with themselves through utilizing the teachings, proven traditions and values set forth by Masons from the beginning of our Ancient Fraternity.
We mentor and encourage our members to not only excel at becoming proficient with the required education necessary to become a Master Mason, but to personally grow: grow in self; grow in personal conduct; grow in personal honor; and, grow in spirituality by associating with members of the oldest fraternity in the world, Free and Accepted Masonry.
Our Brotherhood has withstood the test of time and trial, and continues to positively impact men’s lives.
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 Menifee Valley Lodge No. 289, 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.
Menifee 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.

As master of his not-so-nearby lodge, Barstow Boron Lodge 682, Miguel Vazquez makes the long trip into the Inland Empire numerous times each week to sit in the East. Still, you won’t hear him complain. Neither will the other 122 members of the Masonic lodge.
Officers at Menifee Valley Lodge serve one year terms. Five officers are elected by the membership and 7 are appointed. Serving as an officer is a great honor, a great responsibility, and to the extent possible, a time honored duty of all Master Masons.
