Templar Academie of America
Training Division of the OMSDT-USA
"An important part of the Order to which I belong to is the Templar Academy. It offers many great classes to help every member on their Templar journey to learn more about the Templars, our Order and deepen one's faith."
Grand Prior Derek Nordio
The Templar Academie Where the Spirit of Learning is the Templar Way.
The Templar Academie is where training is conducted on an OMSDT-USA Order-wide scale. There are courses provided in Basic Training, Templar History, Virtues of Knighthood, Leadership and Ministry, Protocols, and there are more coming soon. You must be a fully vetted member of the OMSDT-USA to attend the Templar Academie of America.
The OMSDT-USA is committed to providing our Templars with a solid foundation and support as they embark on their Templar path.
Grand Marshal Marc Blaydoe Oversees the Templar Academie for OMSDT Knights Templar
As the Grand Marshal (GML) of OMSDT, I am entrusted with the administration of the Templar Académie. I am dedicated to our brotherhood’s mission of building and defending the Kingdom of God.
In 2018, I received knighthood in a previous Templar Order with approximately 2,000 members. During that time, I served as acting Grand Master for several months in 2020. In 2022, I was honored as a Knight of OMSDT. From 2023 to 2025, I served as the Priory Leader for Holy Trinity Priory. In 2024, I was appointed as the Grand Turcopolier, responsible for administering Order video teleconferences and the Templar Académie.
In 2026, I was promoted to Grand Marshal, continuing to oversee the Templar Académie while delegating video conferencing duties to the newly appointed Grand Turcopolier, Nicholas Ahik.
Templar Academie of America Mission Statement
To educate, train, and inspire each Templar to embrace and exercise their own God-given gifts and leadership style, so that each graduate is recognized as a person of integrity and character, committed to their Christian faith as lived through the Knightly Virtues, and prepared for excellence in dedication and service to GOD, their family, community, nation, priory, and the OMSDT-USA.
