A method of forming a composite structural block comprising the steps of: positioning a pair of truss-web members formed from a non-masonry material in a mold assembly, the truss-web members each including a pair of spaced sidewalk and a pair of opposite ends each having an open channel and at least one connector tongue extending into the open channel, wherein the positioning of the truss-web members creates two residual cavity spaces in the mold cavity; pouring a masonry material including concrete into the two residual cavity spaces defined by the truss-web members and the mold assembly to form at pair of facing panels, wherein the two residual cavity spaces are open to the open channels of the truss-web members such that the masonry material fills the open channels to interlock the truss-web member to the facing panel; and removing the interlocked facing panels and the truss-web members from the mold assembly as a composite structural block.
