Our Mission ~ The Priory of the Christian Soldier is a Christian, Chivalric Order Dedicated to Leading, serving and protecting the faithful at Risk in the holy land and throughout the world. Our priory honors all United States Armed Forces Veterans, providing financial and volunteer support to local nonprofit Veterans organizations, while Promoting the historical and current World Mission of the Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem.
Inspired by Legacy, Driven by Service ~ The Modern Knights Templar is an Ecumenical Christian and Chivalric charitable Order. We honor the rich history of the Knights Templar, but our mission goes beyond lineage. We aim to emulate their core values in a modern context.
Two important principles guide us. First, we strive to safeguard Christians in need, particularly in the Holy Land and the Middle East where the Christian presence faces challenges. We offer support and protection to the most vulnerable. Second, we promote open access. Just as the original Knights Templar ensured safe passage for pilgrims, we believe Jerusalem should remain a welcoming destination for all people of faith.
Through charitable works and unwavering dedication, the Modern Knights Templar carries forward a legacy of service and compassion.
A Modern Order Rooted in Tradition ~ In today’s world, the Order seeks to revitalize the time-tested structure of a chivalric order. We believe this framework effectively inspires dedicated individuals and demonstrates the continued relevance of spiritual idealism. This dedication to tradition extends to patriotism, civic duty, and fostering the virtues of Christian gentlemen and ladies.

Membership is open to Christians of all denominations who share our commitment to service. We uphold the laws of the land and respect individual obligations to their countries. We are a non-political organization focused solely on charitable endeavors.
A Growing Force for Good ~ Many compassionate individuals seek to make a positive impact. The Order provides a platform for them to do so. Our rapidly growing volunteer base reflects a diverse range of talent and a singular focus on serving our communities.
Guided by Faith, Driven by Action ~ The Modern Knights Templar are a Christian Order of Knighthood dedicated to a life of purpose. We actively pursue several goals. We seek to deepen our faith by fostering a closer connection with God and encouraging love and respect within our communities. We also aim to bridge divides by promoting understanding between religions and facilitating pilgrimages to holy sites. This ensures a continued Christian presence in the Holy Land.
Our Guiding Principles ~ Faith, Hope, and Charity are our guiding lights. We aspire to serve faithfully, embodying the spirit of Psalm 115:1: “Not unto us, Oh Lord, not unto us, but to Thy Name be given glory.”
Extending a helping hand is another core principle. We offer support to the less fortunate, including the poor, sick, and those facing injustice. We champion freedom of speech and stand against oppression. Finally, we embrace chivalry, upholding its noble ideals while preserving the history and legacy of the Knights Templar.
