The Office of the Chancellor is concerned with the well-being of the clergy, their ongoing assignments and reassignments, their continuing education, and the benefits provided to them by the Church.

Clergy entering the Archdiocese through ordination by an Archdiocesan hierarch or by incardination from other Orthodox jurisdictions receive their first assignments through the Chancellor's Office. All assignments within the Direct Archdiocesan District are at present arranged through this office as well. The Chancellor’s Office also helps to coordinate the reassignment of clergy from one Metropolis to another. The Chancellor is furthermore responsible for the implementation of the Archdiocesan Clergy Sexual Misconduct Policy.

New parishes that are being formed within the Archdiocese receive their canonical status through the Office of the Chancellor. Matters pertaining to parish administration are also reviewed and addressed by the Chancellor's Office. The Chancellor’s Office is also responsible for maintaining an up-to-date database of clergy and parishes throughout the Archdiocese.

The Chancellor's Office also coordinates and administers the Taylor Scholarship Fund, which provides monetary grants to those pursuing advanced degrees in theological studies, and the James J. Tembelis Scholarship Fund, as well as the Gioles and Malta Scholarships.
