Christian Chivalry in Action
Ordre du Temple de Jérusalem
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.
Membership is more than belonging to an organisation—it is a journey of personal growth, spiritual development, meaningful fellowship, and charitable action. 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.
