  • 1925–ca.1971

Briercrest Pastoral Charge was formed as a new self-sustaining United Church charge in 1925, part of Moose Jaw Presbytery and consisting of appointments at Briercrest -- southeast of Moose Jaw -- and Blue Hill (as of 1926). Prior to union, it appears to have been a largely Methodist-served charge that covered the Briercrest and Blue Hill congregations. Additional points in the United Church charge included Tilney (by 1932) and Baildon (by 1940).

Around 1971, the charge amalgamated with Avonlea Pastoral Charge, to form Avonlea-Briercrest Pastoral Charge, including points at Blue Hill and Hearne.
