“Templum Sion was born out of a real desire for building a modern operating model that would provide new energy, education, a true sharing of knowledge and quality within the Craft.

The original 13 Charter members wanted a Lodge that would add a modern flair to the ancient ways by employing the latest technology, offering comprehensive education to our members, and minimizing business to add value to the Lodge experience.

We meet 6X annually, elect Officers every two years, have chosen to slow down the rate of candidate ritual progression to maximize candidate knowledge, and thoroughly review new applications to ensure the corrct fit within our organization.

We operate on Saturday - which allows our membership to focus on their careers, families and personal vocations during the week and we utilize numerous electronic tools and media for communications and information sharing. All members of Templum Sion must have Internet access.

Learning and self-development is the foundation of our intensive education program that provides all new members with a well-rounded education of masonic thought, history, philosophy, psychology, architecture, and organization & leadership knowledge.

We wish to celebrate and practice our values and liberate the human potential for the benefit of society - this is at the heart of our Lodge.”
