Golden Prairie Pastoral Charge

  • SCAA-UCCS-0494
  • Corporate body
  • 1925–1977

Golden Prairie Pastoral Charge was formed as a United Church mission field in 1925, part of Swift Current Presbytery and containing preaching points at Golden Prairie, Kellarville and Clifton. As of 1940, the charge included Golden Prairie, Foch and Richmond appointments. By the early 1970s, the minutes and Year Books identified it as a Pastoral Charge (in Cypress Hills Presbytery), operating without a regular minister. As of 1977, the Charge is no longer listed in Year Books. According to the Official Board minutes from Golden Prairie (reference no. A.785.XV.SA.275), on March 24, 1977, the congregation decided to amalgamate with Maple Creek (alongside Piapot), as of July 1. Future services were planned to take place at Maple Creek United Church.

United Church of Canada Swift Current Presbytery

  • Corporate body
  • 1925–1959

Swift Current Presbytery was one of the original 16 presbyteries established by the first General Council of the United Church of Canada (June 1925), to be part of the new Saskatchewan Conference. Initial boundaries were based on the previous Swift Current Presbytery, which had been part of the Presbyterian Synod of Saskatchewan. Prior to Union, in 1925, there had also been a Swift Current District, in the Saskatchewan Conference of the Methodist Church.

In 1959, the presbytery was amalgamated with part of Assiniboia Presbytery (west of Highway 19) and became Cypress Hills Presbytery.
