The Holy Order of the Knights of Saint John

Welcome to the Holy Order of the Knights of Saint John. The Order is a Christian Self-Improvement society sponsored by Star Vision Ministries.

The Application for Knighthood

The levels of Knighthood in the Order of the Knights of Saint John are:

Knight Apprentice

This is the entry level rank of the Order, and must normally be achieved before the higher rank may be bestowed. In order to qualify for this rank the individual must pledge themselves to daily study of the Holy Bible. The Knight Apprentice should follow the lead of the Holy Ghost, through prayer, to decide what part or parts of the Bible to study each day. The Knight Apprentice realizes that only through dedicated study may they grow as a Christian, and only through this growth may they advance to the upper order. In addition, the Knight Apprentice must pledge themselves to acts of Christian kindness and benevolence. The Knight Apprentice realizes that the true Christian is always looking for ways to spread the love of Christ, and by demonstrating daily acts of kindness they can advance as Christians, as individuals, and as Knights. The Knight Apprentice must normally hold this rank for a period of Six (6) Months before advancing to the Upper Level, although shorter periods may be approved by the First Knight, and the Knight Apprentice may, in fact, retain the Apprentice rank for a longer period of time, should they wish to do so.

Lord (Lady) Knight

This is the upper level rank of the Order. The candidate for this rank must already hold the rank of Knight Apprentice, or be commissioned by the First Knight or the Board of Ministers directly to this level. In addition to the qualifications for Knight Apprentice, the Lord or Lady Knight must pledge themselves to utilize every opportunity to spread God's Word to whomever they meet. The Lord (Lady) Knight realizes that the true Christian is always looking for opportunities to tell others of the greatness of Jesus Christ, and will use whatever is at their disposal to do so. The Lord (Lady) Knight knows that only through the spreading of God's Word can they mature as Christians.
