Welcome to the official website of the Grand Lodge Free And Accepted Masons (F.A.A.M.) of the District of Columbia in Washington, D.C.

We are Washington, D.C. Masons, members of the Free and Accepted Masons of Washington, D.C. Freemasonry is first and foremost a fraternity. It is also “A Way of Life.” The brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of God is primary – this means that its activities should always be designed to promote friendship, morality and brotherly love. Many men have wondered just what the masons are all about and what it means to become a member of the fraternal lodge.

Masons are a unique institution that has been a major part of community life in America for over two hundred and fifty (250) years. It is America’s largest and oldest fraternity, and one that continues to be an important part of many men’s personal lives and growth.

Masons are an organization of men bound together with a philosophy of moral standards, mutual understanding and brotherhood in which all men are on a level and equal.

Although Freemasonry is not a religion, its emphasis on the Fatherhood of God ensures that the Brotherhood of Man follows naturally. This coupled with the obligation to abide by the Golden Rule, particularly with a fellow Mason, makes for one of the strongest bonds of society. When you meet other Masons, the odds are very high indeed, that they will treat you as you would like to be treated.
