Leadership and Ministry
This Course was built to provide a guided framework through which Templars can better discern and understand their unique God-given talents, gifts, and leadership styles.
In Mark 12, our Lord Jesus Christ stated that the greatest commandment in the Law was “to love the Lord our God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength”, and to “love your neighbor as yourself”. Christ stated that there is no Law greater than these. God calls us to a total relationship, involving every aspect of who we are as individuals. We are called to bring all that we are and all that we can be in following and serving Christ and making his Love known in the world.
Prerequisites: Sgt rank and above; completion of Mentor 101 & SAA courses.
The Gauntlet 501KTC
The Gauntlet! This can also serve as a refresher for any KTGPA Templar no matter the rank. This course combines sections from both the Companion at Arms Course and the Sergeant course. For example, you will learn a little about our Statutes and you will learn a little about the Virtues that we swear to uphold as Knights.
Prerequisite: Knights who transfer from another Templar Order; KTGPA International members

Physical battles vs. Spiritual Battles: In the KTGPA, we fight daily spiritual battles. Attacks will come against our family, our friends, our church family, and all other parts of life. Becoming a Templar does not mean the attacks will get easier; in fact, they will be harder than ever before. One must be steadfast in learning, praying, and seeking knowledge to fight these spiritual battles. As the first of our mandatory courses, this course is the first step in the Templar journey to Knighthood.

Mentor 201: The Templar Sergeant at Arms 201KTC
The course is based on a set of historically accepted Knightly Virtues. We may ask for your thoughts on the virtues or even ask for the BIBLE verse you think fit that virtue. We are in no way pushing Church Doctrine. This course fits our ecumenical standing as we ask for each individual member’s opinion. We never ask for the member’s Church view as it is assumed their answers/opinions would already be based (fully or in part) on that.
As one of our mandatory courses, the goal is to help the Templar Sergeant become a better leader by understanding how they themselves apply the virtues in their daily lives.
