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.

Install the Mattermost app
CTK Chat runs on Mattermost, a secure messaging app.
