1925–2015

Morse Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, part of Swift Current Presbytery and consisting of Morse and Ernfold appointments. (Later addition Herbert also formed that year, as a separate Mission Field in the same presbytery, as had the augmented Chaplin Pastoral Charge, in Moose Jaw Presbytery.) Around 1946, Herbert was added to Morse Pastoral Charge. Chaplin joined the charge ca.1958 and it was renamed Morse-Chaplin Pastoral Charge. The name changed to Herbert-Morse-Chaplin Pastoral Charge, December 1, 1996. Herbert closed June 30, 2006. The remaining charge officially closed June 30, 2015.

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.
