About Us
Our Knights Templar Order
Today’s Order of the Knights Templar take their inspiration from the highest ideals and values of the medieval Order of the Knights Templar. We are their spiritual heirs. We are a Christian (Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox), fraternal, chivalric Order. We are not political and not affiliated with the Masons. The members of our Order commit to vows of Knighthood to live a life of honor by exhibiting certain virtues. We choose a life of purpose and meaning by taking a stand for what is right in our families, our community and our nation.
We are ecumenical meaning we are not affiliated with any single denomination but represent all of Christendom.
The Knights Templar has a rich and powerful history that spans over 900 years. Since its founding in the year 1118 A.D., it has had tremendous impact on history throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Its primary purpose has been and continues to be to give glory and honor to our Lord Jesus Christ.
