The Knights Templar provide a path for those who wish to continue the growth of character, morality and brotherly love through Freemasonry.

Building on what is taught in Lodge , the modern Knights Templar add the lessons of Christian brotherhood and devotion to duty that so marked the ancient Templars.

The modern Templar is a Knight in every sense, as were his ancient brothers. Steeped in the sprint of chivalry, he is devoted to honor in all things, abhorring cruelty, deceit and cowardice. Devoted to duty to his order and his country, he is a leader in protecting the rights of others especially those who cannot protect themselves.

The Knights Templar like all Masonic bodies, reflects and builds on many fine traditions. The modern Knights Templar trace their origin back to the founding of the original order in Jerusalem near the end of the First Crusade. Today, that spirit lives on.

It is captured in the Commandery by the modern Knights. Nobleness of purpose, commitment to a cause, self sacrifice and honor are not just abstractions, they live in the chivalry of the Knights Templar where pageantry and action combine for the good of the order and the World
