The aim of the Entered Apprentice experience is to begin a lifelong journey of learning, moral development, and service to others. As the first degree, it introduces you to the values of self-improvement, integrity, and charitable action, and it starts you on a path of ongoing growth within the lodge and in the wider community. This isn't about finishing rituals, gaining political influence, or seeking financial contributions; it’s about building character, understanding duties to God, family, neighbors, and fellow members, and committing to use your abilities to help others. The emphasis is on starting a process of education and service that continues throughout a Mason’s life.
