Update your own contact details

The Diocese of York uses the Church of England’s Contact Management System (CMS) to keep contact information for clergy, lay ministers, and parish officers.

If you have access to CMS, you can check and update your own details, including your email address and telephone number.

To access the system:

  1. Sign in to the Church of England Portal.
  2. Select Contact Management System.
  3. Open your contact record to check or update your details.

If you don’t have access, you can request it through the Church of England Portal.

For help accessing the system, contact the diocesan office on 01904 699500.

Update your church’s information on A Church Near You

A Church Near You is the Church of England’s national church-finder website. It helps people find local churches, services, events, and contact information.

Every Church of England church has a page that can be updated by an authorised editor.

Keeping your page up to date helps people find accurate information about your church, including:

  • Service times and events.
  • Contact details and location.
  • Accessibility and facilities.
  • Safeguarding information.

To make changes, sign in to A Church Near You and open your church’s page. If you’re not already an editor, you can request access.
