The Healthy Pastors and Congregations Commission (HPCC) is a name which makes explicit its purpose in its name. It is an administrative commission of the Presbytery, with delegated powers through which it may act with the full authority of the Presbytery, particularly between meetings of the Presbytery Assembly. All actions taken in behalf of the Presbytery shall be reported to and are subject to review by the next Assembly meeting.

In addition, the HPCC is particularly responsible to oversee the Sexual Misconduct Response Team (SMRT) and policy, and nominate the SMRT chair and team members. And the HPCC will partner with the Partners In Ministry Committee to deploy Holy Conversations Teams of three to meet every two years with congregational pastors and sessions about their ministries and resource needs, praying with and for them in their mission and ministry.
