Kinistino Pastoral Charge was formed as a United Church charge in 1925, part of Prince Albert Presbytery and consisting of preaching point at Kinistino (St. Andrew's United Church), as well as Weldon, Gowanbrae and Nordin. By the early 1990s, Ethelton had been added to the charge, which was re-named Kinistino-Ethelton Pastoral Charge. As of July 1, 1995, Kinistino-Ethelton was split up, into Birch Hills - Kinistino Pastoral Charge and Melfort-Ethelton Pastoral Charge. On May 31, 2011, Birch Hills - Crystal Springs - Kinistino Pastoral Charge was dissolved and the points (re)formed the separate Kinistino Pastoral Charge, Birch Hills Pastoral Charge and Crystal Springs Pastoral Charge.

Melfort Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, containing the preaching points at Melfort and Beatty. On July 1, 1995, the charge became part of a new Melfort-Ethelton Pastoral Charge, after the division of the former Kinistino-Ethelton Pastoral Charge (other points became part of Birch Hills - Kinistino Pastoral Charge). Ethelton United Church closed November 15, 2011.
