Dedicated to Faith, Service, Formation and Christian Leadership.

Become Part of Something Greater Than Yourself

The Knights Templar of Australia is a Christian Order for men and women who seek to live lives of faith, service, leadership and purpose.

Through guided formation, mentoring, education, community service, and participation in a modern chivalric tradition, members are encouraged to become better Christians, stronger leaders, and more effective servants of their communities.
