The Synod conducts judicial process trials and hearings through the Permanent Judicial Commission.

The Committee on Representation provides the Synod with information essential to maintaining Constitutional principles of inclusiveness and representation on all Synod committees and commissions.

The Nominating Committee nominates members of Pillar Working Groups, Pillar Conveners, Officers, Permanent Judicial Commission members, and any other committees of the Synod, unless specifically assigned to another entity.

Special Administrative Review Committees and Administrative Commissions are tools that the Synod can use when requested by presbyteries to provide targeted support at times when their challenges become too great to face alone.
