An order of faith, service, and quiet stewardship.
Inspired by the Templar tradition, gathered beneath the Highland sky at St. Michael of All Angels — a chapel once kept by the Knights Hospitaller, now home to a new Christian council.
Non Nobis Domine,
Sed Nomini Tuo Da Gloriam.
Not unto us, O Lord, but unto Thy Name give glory.
A Christian order, plainly stated.
The International Council of Knights Templar exists to advance the Christian faith through service, charity, stewardship, and fellowship. Inspired by the virtues of the historic Templar tradition, the Council unites Christians in practical works of mercy, humanitarian assistance, community resilience, and the preservation of Christian heritage. It is a non-political, non-military, international Christian charitable order — dedicated to serving God through service to others.
Eight virtues we keep.
Commitment to Christ and Christian principles.
Serving communities without expectation of reward.
Supporting those in need regardless of background.
Maintaining the highest ethical standards.
Responding to challenges with conviction.
Responsible management of resources.
Building unity among Christians.
Conducting all activities with dignity.
Six pillars hold the house.
From faith demonstrated through works to heritage preservation, our work is organised around six enduring commitments — each carried by trained volunteers under chaplaincy guidance.

St. Michael of All Angels, Inverchaolain.
High above Loch Striven near Dunoon stands the chapel of St. Michael of All Angels — a place of worship once held by the Knights Hospitaller and now the spiritual seat of our Council. Worn flagstones, narrow lancet windows, and the silence of the glens form the backdrop against which our work begins.
