History

Regina Westminster Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, including Westminster United Church, itself an amalgamation of Westminster Presbyterian Church (at 3025 - 13th Avenue) and the nearby Fourteenth Avenue Methodist Church (in a temporary building on the southwest corner of 14th Avenue and Retallack Street). These congregations had originated from outreach efforts by the downtown Knox Presbyterian Church and Metropolitan Methodist Church and, in May 1925, they had combined their congregations, in the formerly Presbyterian building.
