  WP.com: Yes

  Hi, was this in regards to managing the site http://churchfolksbetalkingcfbt.wordpress.com/ ?

  This is the guide for changing the email address associated with a WordPress.com account:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-address/

  if the email address you prefer to use has not already been associated with a second WordPress.com account of yours, then you can go right ahead and change it over.

  If your preferred email address is being used for a second WordPress.com account, then you could do one of the following:

  • Log out of this account, and then log in in on that second WordPress.com account so you can close it. After 30 days, the data of that account is purged, meaning that you would be able to update this account to use your preferred email address. Account closure info:

  • If you have a third spare email address, then you can change that second WordPress.com account to use the spare email address. This would free up your preferred address so you can use it for this account.
