I'm hoping that you can help me out. A member in my ward asked me to help her find the Bishop's name where her sister lives. She doesn't live in our Stake so I'm not sure how to find what ward she would be in. Her sister is not active and she wants to get with the Bishop so she can let him know that her sister is in his ward and she is hoping that he and the ward can fellowship her. How can I find the ward she would be in and the name of the Bishop for her ward?

Hi,
This is a public forum that anyone around the world can search and browse without logging in, so please edit, if you are able to, and remove this sister's personal information. If you're not able to, there should be an administrator who can remove it for you.

If you go to https://www.lds.org/maps/, you can type the sister's address and find the ward that she's assigned to, as well as the bishop's name and phone number.

And, any member member can do this - it is not restricted to ward leadership or clerks so your ward member can address this on their own.

If you have the name of a branch in a foreign country is there a way to find the contact information for the branch president?

Ward bishoprics, ward clerks, stake presidencies and stake clerks have access to a directory that gives contact information.

Otherwise, you can try maps.lds.org and see what information that provides.

You should be able to find that using the Meetinghouse Locator tool:

the meetinghouse locator will give you the name of the Branch President, you will need to contact the branch for the names of his Counselors
There are 11 types of people. Those who understand Gray Code and those that don't.

You can try and use maps.lds.org. Otherwise, you can ask a member of your bishopric or stake presidency to look it up in CDOL.

If you go to https://www.lds.org/ and sign in, then click on 'My Account and Ward' in the upper right-hand corner, you should see 'Meetinghouse Locator' in the right-hand column, near the top. Click there, and enter your address, including 'South' or 'North'. That should find you the ward(s) that cover that address. Once you select a ward, it should show you the meetinghouse location and meeting times.

Your bishopric or stake presidency including clerks can use CDOL to look that up.

This is a public forum visible to anyone, which is why the contact information was edited out.

It appears you have internet access. If you go to https://www.lds.org and go to the Meetinghouse Locator, you can enter the name of the city and state. That will show you a map of meetinghouses in the city. If you click on a meetinghouse, you will see the address of the meetinghouse and a phone number. If you call that phone number, someone should be able to direct you toward a transient bishop. I verified that anyone can get a phone number, even without logging in.

If you are in Italy, you could try to contact the mission office, who could put you in contact with the missionaries in your area, who should have contact information for the bishop.
If you're from somewhere else (for example, you're planning to travel to Bologna), you could ask the bishop where you're currently living to contact the bishop in Bologna on your behalf. Bishops have access to a "Church Directory of Organizations and Leaders" where they can look up contact information for another bishop.

Go to maps.churchofjesuschrist.org, and enter the address. You'll see the ward(s) that cover that area. In this case, there's a choice of English, Spanish, and Young Single Adult units.

Do a web search for "Meetinghouse Locator" or go to maps.churchofjesuschrist.org. Enter the address in question and you'll know what ward covers that address. Usually it will include the bishop's contact information.

For homeless, he may refer you to another bishop who is currently handling the homeless in the area.

Good luck

You can use the Meetinghouse Locator app. Enter the address and select the residential ward. There will be a link to send a message to the bishop.
If you are looking for someone to give you the name and contact information here in the Tech Forum, then no one here can do that. Even if a forum user has access to CDOL, that information cannot be posted here because it is confidential information.

I am trying to use the send message feature in the meeting house locator but every time I try and send my message it says "We Couldn't Send Your Message
We had trouble sending your message, would you please try again?". is there any way to get the phone number of the bishop I am trying to reach or how to get the messages to actually send?

I'd try again using incognito/private mode in your browser.

If that doesn't work, then you can contact your existing ward leadership to have them look it up. I'd suggest asking the executive secretary or ward clerk as bishops tend to have a lot on their plate.

I'd also suggest that out of respect of privacy for the Bishop, perhaps you could ask your clerk (or ExecSec) to send a message to that Bishop, and have them ask the Bishop if he's willing to contact you directly. If I remember correctly (!), the "Send a Message" feature hides the Bishop's email from viewing, and it is up to the Bishop if he chooses to respond directly to whoever is sending him the message. I know leader emails are often shared this way when clerks look up info on CDOL and then pass them along to others, so just my two cents.

If you're trying to find the transient bishop for a particular location, use Meetinghouse Locator to find the regular bishop for that location and send a message asking for contact information for the transient bishop.

(I think you're asking for a way to contact a leader in the Dunbar YSA Ward in Idaho Falls, Idaho, USA. If not, please explain, preferably with some approximation of standard punctuation and capitalization to improve accuracy of understanding.)

Nobody here has contact information. However, the Meetinghouse Locator can help you send a message to the bishop of that ward:

- Go to Meetinghouse Locator: https://maps.churchofjesuschrist.org/?lang=eng

- In the 'Search' box, enter this: Idaho Falls, ID (and select that from the drop-down list).

- Under 'Assigned for this location', click on 'Idaho Falls YSA Stake'.

- Under 'Associated Locations', click on 'Dunbar YSA Ward'.

- In the latter part of the left-hand side-bar, under 'Bishop Lott', click on 'Send a Message'.

If you're a church leader, you can look it up in CDOL.
