Serving the Community since 1865
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 over 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.
Antioch-Brentwood Lodge’s mission is to promote personal growth and improve the lives of others. We take responsibility for the well-being of our brothers, our families, and the community as a whole. We value respect, kindness, tolerance, and our differences – religious, ethnic, cultural, generational, and educational, and strive for harmony in our individual lives, in our lodge, and in the global community.
THIS IS NOT RHETORIC, it is what we do.
We meet the first Wednesday of each month at 521 W. 2nd Street (the Corner of G Street & 2nd Street in the Rivertown District of Antioch, California). We begin with a social hour from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, our Stated Meeting Dinner at begins 6:30 pm (Reservations highly required) and our Stated Meeting begins at 7:30 pm.
As a lodge, we strive to be active in our community. We have various charitable and educational events throughout the year, as well as many social occasions.
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 Antioch-Brentwood No. 175, 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.
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 an appointment, or request more information.
