Mission Statement

The General Grand Encampment of Knights Templar strives to promote a way of life that binds brothers together in educating, supporting and bringing understanding to the values of Brotherly Love, Truth and Relief. We believe that the support, teachings and accomplishments of this Grand Encampment stand as an inspiration to all Sir Knights that are a part of this August Body. We hope to continually grow in all aspects. As a charitable organization we put family and Community first.

History

The General Grand Encampment of Knights Templar was originated in the early years of the United Supreme Council and for many years was headed by the late John G. Jones, at various conclaves. From the tenure of Dr. B.H. Stillyard, who was a titular leader, to C.L. Mitchell, who served as the Sovereign Grand Commander and Most Eminent Grand Commander.

The Knights Templar was a large organization of devout Christians during the medieval era who carried out an important mission: to protect European travelers visiting sites in the Holy Land while also carrying out military operations. A wealthy, powerful and mysterious order that has fascinated historians and the public for centuries, tales of the Knights Templar, their financial acumen, their military prowess and their work on behalf of Christianity during the Crusades still circulate throughout modern culture.
