Kirjathjearim Lodge #4

Mission Statement

The Kirjathjearim Lodge is a non-profit organization which embodies an attractive system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols.  The fraternity, founded upon Christian principles established in the Holy Bible, strives to teach a man the duty he owes to God, his neighbor and to himself; but interferes neither with religion or politics as it prescribes the practice of virtues in the conduct of its business.  The foundation is character. Its purpose is service.  Its measure is giving.  Making “Good Men Better” perpetuates its foundation.   Its purpose is service, which is rendered to the people of Tennessee to improve their social, cultural and economic conditions.   Its measure is giving, an act of unselfish sacrifice for the benefit of others.
