Togo Pastoral Charge was created ca.1926, as a new self-sustaining United Church field in Kamsack Presbytery, with appointments at Runnymeade, Myler, Alva, and Togo. By the 1950s, the charge had been re-named Togo-Makaraoff Pastoral Charge, including points at Grand Narrows, Poplar Point, Makaroff, and Togo. Around 1965, the Togo point joined Kamsack Pastoral Charge, which was later re-named Kamsack-Togo Pastoral Charge. The preaching point at Togo was closed June 30, 2005.
