All organisations with more than 250 employees must publish data showing their gender pay gaps by April next year.
Median pay for men in the Church of England's central office is £45,072 pounds, compared to £31,900 for women in the Church of England's central office; showing a 41 per cent pay gap.
A spokesperson for the Church of England told Premier the Church "published the data at the earliest possible opportunity and are committed to reporting our gender pay data in an open and transparent way".
The spokesperson added: "The data also shows where we have more work to do in reducing the difference in pay between men and women in more highly paid roles, and improving the ratio of men to women in the most senior and most junior roles."
In the "mid upper" job range, women make 9 per cent more than men but while for half of staff there is no gap in pay between men and women, there are significantly more women in junior roles than men.
And men in senior roles, which is 64 per cent of the employees, make 3 per cent more than women in senior roles.
The figures published provide a breakdown of pay by gender for staff of the National Church Institutions (NCIs) and do not cover clergy ministering across the 42 dioceses of the Church of England.
The spokespersons said: "We are taking steps to address these issues including reviewing our job evaluation and pay methodology and making changes to our recruitment strategy to attract a greater diversity of candidates."
