How to Join

The orders of the Masonic Knights Templar are part of a progression from the first three degrees of Freemasonry.  Membership thus involves several prerequisites:

  • You must have received the Supreme Degree of the Holy Royal Arch of Jerusalem, the final degree of Royal Arch Masonry, and be a member in good standing of a Chapter of Royal Arch Masons.

  • Membership in a Royal Arch Chapter requires that you have been raised as a Master Mason in a Craft lodge and be a member in good standing of a Masonic Craft lodge.
