Administrative history
Regina St. John's Pastoral Charge was formed around 1954, part of Regina Presbytery and containing the new St. John's United Church, built at McTavish Street and Fourth Avenue, Regina. The decision to have a new building had resulted from a presbytery Church Extension Committee survey (ca.1951) that determined the district of the city required facilities not available at the existing Sixth Street United Church. The first service in the new St. John's United Church was held November 14, 1954. The pastoral charge closed June 30, 1999.
Custodial history
Original provenance for many of the records in the fonds is unclear. Initial items were transferred to the archives between 1925 and 1988. Various additions were received by Saskatchewan Conference archives in 2004, 2006 and 2009.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of textual materials generated by Regina St. John’s Pastoral Charge, its predecessor Regina Sixth Street Pastoral Charge and their constituent churches – the boards, committees and related bodies, local women’s units and other groups.
Contents include: minutes of church council, Official Board, trustees, congregation and various committee meetings; records from meetings of local United Church Women (U.C.W.) groups; historic rolls; financial ledgers; and registers of baptisms, marriages and burials that took place at St. John’s, Rae Street, Sixth Avenue, and St. Andrew’s Churches (in Regina), as well as Peepeekesis Reserve, RCMP Chapel, Whitewood, Stoney Beach, Pense, Speers, Qu’Appelle and related locations. There is also 1 album (with bulletins, directories, clippings and approx. 41 photos) and 10 photographs (most by Peter F. Groome) showing church buildings and individuals associated with St. John’s United Church and Sixth Street United – formerly Rae Street Methodist – Church.

Arrangement
Original order for many of these records is unclear. Items under XV.A and XV.B were arranged and listed as local church records sometime before 1990 and those under XV.SA and XV.SC were added between 1988 and 2009. The fonds was created in 2021, to include records previously listed and any new accruals.
