If you haven't taken a moment to read the Arizona Grand Lodge mission statement, please read it by clicking on this link. As quoted from the Arizona Grand Lodge website "Every well-run lodge has or should have a written Mission and Vision Statement as well as a written set of Goals and Objectives for the current Masonic year to serve as a guide of what is expected to be accomplished and in what direction the lodge wants to move."
The Grand Lodge officers line has worked hard and collectively developed the following mission, vision and values statement for Arizona Freemasonry.
Mission Statement
Freemasonry is a voluntary organization promoting a way of life that binds men together in a worldwide brotherhood. It transcends all religious, ethnic, cultural, social and educational differences in order to promote positive changes in Arizona Freemasonry and the world. We strive to make good men better men.
Vision Statement
To be a relevant and well-respected organization that makes a difference, thereby improving the world for future Masonic generations.
Values
Our values are guided by the enduring and relevant tenets of our fraternity:
- Brotherly Love. We value respect, freedom, kindness, tolerance, and our differences – religious, ethnic, cultural, social and educational while striving for harmony in our personal lives, in our lodges, and in our communities.
- Relief. We take responsibility for the well-being of our brothers, our families, and our communities. We provide relief through philanthropy, community involvement, and education.
- Truth. We stay true to our personal code of conduct and ethics – honor, integrity, personal responsibility, and the continual pursuit of self-improvement (progress).
