The Masonic Development Course (MDC) is a course for all brothers, new and old to learn about the 3 degrees of Freemasonry in more detail and depth. Reading, workbook and discussion about these topics will new brothers and those who have more experience makes for a very informative session about Freemasonry.

The course is in 3 sessions, in the evening or Saturday mornings. The locations TBA. You must make 3 sessions (1st, 2nd and 3rd degree) to get a certificate of completion. So, if you opt for the Saturday morning but mis one, you can attend a weekday evening session on the same topic and get the credit.

The Road to the East

The Road to the East Course (RTE) is primarily for those Master Mason who are or would like to become officers in a Lodge and soon or own day become Worshipful Master of the Lodge.

Topics of Interest for the RTE are Lodge operations, finances, Masonic Law, etc. Discussion is also a large part of the course, so it behooves the students to ask questions on the topics being presented.
