History
Porcupine Plain Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, containing Porcupine Plain (Bethany United Church, named 1948), Green Lake, High Tor, Pee Wee and Somme. Later points included Bjorkdale (Hillside United Church), Chelan, and Spruce View. After becoming a Shared Ministry (ca.1952), the Porcupine Plain Charge has included congregations of St. John's Hillside Anglican/United Church, in Bjorkdale, Bethany-Good Shepherd Anglican/United Church, in Porcupine Plain, and St. Andrew's United Church, in Shand Creek (ca.1982).
Both Bjorkdale and Porcupine Plain closed June 30, 2010, and the RM of Porcupine preaching point ended its association with the United Church November 2011. Porcupine Plain (Shared Ministry) Pastoral Charge itself closed December 31, 2011.

Mandates/sources of authority
Internal structures/genealogy
Local church congregations in the United Church are organized into pastoral charges, each run by a governing body, such as a Council or Board. Charges can often include more than one local church or preaching place congregation under the leadership of a minister. In some cases, a United Church may also partner with a nearby church of another denomination, forming a shared ministry charge.
