CTK Chat

Church announcements, prayer, and conversation — in one place, off social media.

CTK Chat is our church's private messaging space. Announcements, prayer requests, event chatter, and ministry coordination all live here — run by the church, not by an ad company. Setup takes about two minutes.

One place, not five

No more hunting through group texts, email chains, and three different apps to find the potluck details. Everything the church says and plans lives in one spot.

Prayer that doesn't get buried

Each prayer request keeps its own thread — updates and answered prayers stay attached to the request, weeks later, instead of scrolling away in a text chain.

Your family's privacy

No ads, no algorithm, no data mining. This runs on the church's own server — your prayer requests are not a product. Notifications are built so message content never passes through outside services.

Quiet by design

Real names, no strangers, no feed to doomscroll. Mute what you don't need, get notified for what you do. It works like group texting — with an off switch.

Get set up

Set your password

Check your email for a message from Christ the King Church titled “Reset your password.” Tap the link and choose a password. Your account is already created — this just activates it.

No email? Contact us and we’ll send a fresh one.

Install the Mattermost app

CTK Chat runs on Mattermost, a secure messaging app.

Connect and sign in

Once the app is installed, come back to this page and tap the button below. It opens the app with our church server already filled in — then sign in with your church email and the password you just set.

Button not working? Open the app, choose “Enter server URL,” and type: mm.christthekingnky.com
