About K21
K21 (Knights of the 21st Century) strives to help men strengthen themselves, hold each other to a higher standard, love and lead their families as Christ would and fight to change the world. What started out as a 5-year biblical DVD study program for men (The Heroic Man’s Journey) evolved into the world’s biggest men’s ministry library. Our books and DVD series are now being used by churches, prisons, rescue missions, schools and men’s groups across the world.
It’s all about Jesus
At K21, we believe in God, the Creator of all things, and in Jesus Christ, God’s only begotten Son. Jesus is the eternal Son of God, fully God and fully man (John 1:1-2, 14). All things have been created by Him and for Him (Colossians 1:15-20). Jesus was born of a virgin, lived among mankind, and although tempted in all ways, He alone was without sin (Hebrews 7:24-28). He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified and died in payment for our sins. He rose again and ascended into heaven, and from there he will come to judge both the living and the dead.
We believe in the Holy Spirit (The Apostles’ Creed), who has been given to us by God and is one with God the Father and the Son (Ephesians 2:18-22). He dwells in the believer (2 Corinthians 1:21-22; Galatians 4:6), and carries out God’s will through the church, which is the collective body of Christ (Ephesians 4:4-6). The Holy Spirit has spoken through the prophets and the apostles in Holy Scripture, which is God’s Word to all people.
We believe that all people are made in the image of God and that we have all sinned; no one measures up to God’s glory (Romans 3:23); we constantly err by trying to live our lives independently from God. We believe that we are justified by faith (Galatians 2:16) through Christ’s atonement for our sins on the cross of Calvary (John 3:16). Through our belief that all men and women are created in the image of God, we believe that all people have inherent worth and dignity, and we strive to uphold this. Mankind is fallen, but God offers us an opportunity to be reborn through a relationship with Jesus Christ. This is an ongoing process which has begun, yet will never be complete during our lives on earth. As such, we encourage each person toward ongoing spiritual, emotional, physical and mental development in relation to their design, purpose and potential, as they strive toward maturity within themselves and in their relationships with God and with others.
The Knight’s CODE of HONOR
TO THE WOMEN who have longed for a world filled with knights, may they not be disappointed. May all women feel safe, respected and loved by the men around them.
TO OUR DAUGHTERS, may they recognize the difference between a male and a man, and may they find the latter.
TO OUR SONS, may they see our knighthood, go on their own personal quest, and take the journey of manhood further than we have before them.
TO THE MEN who brought honor before us, we join you. To the males who brought disappointment, we offer healing.
TO THE WORLD in which we find ourselves, may you discover renewed hope, the courage to change and the difference true manhood brings.
