a substitute for the religious beliefs of it's members. Our members do
come from all denomination.
Eastern Stars strive to take good people and through uplifting and
elevating associations of love and service, through precept and
example, build an order which is truly dedicated to charity, truth and
loving kindness.
The Order of the Eastern Star is based on five famous religious
heroines: Adah, Ruth, Esther, Electa and Martha.
The degrees of the Order of the Eastern Star teach lessons of fidelity,
constancy, loyalty, faith and love.
These degrees are presented in a beautiful ceremony designed to not
only teach the lessons, but also provide insight for future study and
understanding. Unlike Blue Lodge Freemasonry, this is based on actual
historical events in the lives of Adah, Ruth, Esther, Electa and Martha
and moral truth that was evidenced by them.
Members must be eighteen years or older, or a Master Mason in good
standing. An applicant for initiation does not have to be vouched for by
father, brother, or husband who is a Mason.
Each chapter have eighteen officers, some elected and others
appointed.
Each chapter retains the right to decide who shall be a member of the
organization.
Election to the degrees must be unanimous, without debate, and
secret. The successful candidate must profess a belief in a Supreme
being and is initiated in five degrees, which conferred in one ceremony.
Our Chapter continue to search for women who's characters are
befitting the awesome robe of Freemasonry. We will continue to
protect the Life, Liberty and Happiness of our members and bring to our
