Administrative history
Saskatoon 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 Saskatoon Presbytery, which had been part of the Presbyterian Synod of Saskatchewan. Prior to Union, in 1925, there had also been a Saskatchewan District, in the Saskatchewan Conference of the Methodist Church.
In 2000, Saskatchewan Conference went from 10 presbyteries to 7, with each adopting a new name. Most pastoral charges from Saskatoon Presbytery became part of the new River Bend Presbytery.
Custodial history
Most records in the fonds were likely transferred to the archives between 1925 and 1986, with later additions brought in between ca.1990 and 2011. Their original provenance is unclear, though administrative and committee records may have come directly from presbytery secretaries, committee members, delegates or other associated individuals.
Scope and content
The fonds consists of records generated by the Presbytery, its secretaries, committees and related bodies, in fulfillment of their responsibilities, as outlined in the Manual of the United Church of Canada.
Contents include: minutes; reports; correspondence; statistics; pastoral charge surveys; property documents; financial records; files relating to Education and Students [Committee]; and records from the Archives and Church Records Committee, Rural Life Committee, the Church Extension Committees, the Missionary and Maintenance Committee, and the Evangelism and Social Services Committee.
