Our Priory’s San Diego Support Focus

Local Engagement: Our local chapter actively participates in community-oriented events, collaborates with non-profit organizations, and fosters fellowship among members.

The organization provides critical assistance to those in need, both locally and internationally. With a particular focus on supporting Christians facing persecution in the Middle East, we actively partner with various missions. https://smotj.org/jerusalem-mite

Operation Knight Flight

This initiative exemplifies our commitment to upholding the ideals of the Knights Templar. Through collaboration with veteran groups, Operation Knight Flight facilitates the delivery of approved humanitarian aid to Christian communities in the Middle East and around the world. We leverage the Jeremiah Denton Amendment to secure “space-available” transport aboard U.S. military cargo aircraft. https://operationknightflight.org

Operation Knight Flight Training

This website was created as an education program so you, our fellow Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (SMOTJ) brothers and sisters in Christ, can help charity organizations benefit and implement the congressionally mandated Denton Program whereby cargo can be delivered worldwide. https://okflearn.org

Knight Protector

Recognizing the need for enhanced safety measures, we offer comprehensive security consultations specifically tailored for houses of worship. https://knightprotector.org

Field of Flight Foundation

The foundation fosters future generations of aviators by providing heavily subsidized aircraft rentals and free flight instruction to our nation’s youth. https://fieldofflight.foundation

Knights Antiquity Historical Society

We recognize that history and religion affects today’s cultures, societies, and governments. Historically and currently there exists distrust, discontent, persecution and strife among and between three of the worlds great religions, Christianity, Islam, and Judaism and the culture and societies built around them. We believe the greatest defense to and cure for bias, prejudice, fear and misunderstandings among religions, cultures and societies is the dissemination of history and knowledge, the extinguishment of myths, and the promotion of truth. https://www.knightshistorical.com
