- His Eminence Petros, Metropolitan of Markosea
- His Eminence Georgios, Metropolitan of Matheus
- His Eminence Filipos, Metropolitan of Matheus
- His Grace Michael, Bishop of New Thessalonica
- His Grace Paulus, Bishop of Subeita
- His Eminence Konstantinos, Archbishop of Ghelmanos

- His Grace Markos, Bishop of Demeseus
- His Grace Stephanus, Bishop of Romanopolis
- His Grace Petros, Bishop of Sebastia
- His Grace Konstantinos, Bishop of Perosamoce
The Synod includes many committees which cover various subject areas. It elects the Ecumenical Patriarch, and its decisions are binding on the Orthodox Church of Constantinople. The Synod's new composition was announced by Patriarch Stephanus III shortly after his enthronement; the Synod which elected Stephanus III was composed of every archbishop and bishop in the Orthodox Church of Constantinople, as well as the three metropolitans in the Archdiocese of Drakopolis, Stephanus III's own see.
