Tribes of Israel Royal Arch Chapter No. 2 is a distinguished Masonic body whose teachings are rooted in the rich heritage of the ancient Israelites and the sacred narrative surrounding the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The Chapter embodies a profound system of morality, veiled in allegory and illustrated by the symbols of the Twelve Tribes, reflected in the historic banners and the High Priest’s Breastplate, upon which each tribe is inscribed. These emblems reinforce timeless principles of unity, divine order, and completeness.

Founded upon the scriptural truths of the Holy Bible, our work seeks to inspire every Companion to strengthen his character, deepen his service, and fulfill the obligations he owes to God, his neighbor, and himself.

The foundation of our Chapter is Character.

Its purpose is Service.

Its measure is Giving, an unselfish commitment to uplift the community and preserve the historical and spiritual essence of the Royal Arch.
