Over the years since 1916 a number of community groups and events have gotten their start at the Lakewood Masonic Temple.  The Kiwanis Club of Lakewood was presented its charter at our Temple in 1921 and has met at our Temple all but 16 years since then.  West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church’s first services were held at our Temple in 1946.  The first Lakewood Home Show was held at our Temple in 1965.  The West Shore Assembly of God met at our Temple from 1977 until purchasing its own building in 1999.  Lakewood New Life Church's first services were held at our Temple in Fall 2006.  The Lakewood Earth and Food (LEAF) Community's initial LEAF Nights were conducted at our Temple until its Lakewood Public Library venue was completed.  There are also old stories and records of Lakewood High School proms and Baldwin Wallace College sorority parties held at our Temple many years ago.

This tradition of community use continues.  Kiwanis meets every Tuesday at noon in our Banquet Room.  Lakewood New Life Church meets in our Ballroom each Sunday morning.  Our Ballroom is also used for contra dances by the  Mud-in-Yer-Eye Band each first Saturday and for swing dances, usually with live bands, by Get Hep Swing each second Friday.  The Lakewood Charitable Assistance Corporation stages its Thanksgiving and Christmas food drives and its spring cleaning products drive from our Temple each year.  There are also many individual events during the year, including receptions, meetings, weddings, socials, and fund raising events.

The Lakewood Masonic Temple also partners with Lakewood Alive, a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) economic development corporation whose mission is to improve the quality of life of residents by creating alliances with community leaders, leveraging community assets and expanding the pool of available resources in order to facilitate economic stability and growth in the City of Lakewood.  Our Ballroom and related facilities are customarily open to visitors during  Downtown Lakewood's community events such as the Light Up Lakewood pre-holiday celebration and the summertime  Lakewood Alive & Well Streetwalk.  Our Ballroom, Lodge Room and Banquet Room are open for tours during the Lakewood Arts Festival on the first Saturday of August each year.
