Maymont Pastoral Charge

• Maymont Larger Parish [1967?-2005]

1925–

Maymont Pastoral Charge was formed in 1925, as a United Church charge containing preaching points at Maymont, Fielding and Eastbourne. Prior to this, Methodists and Presbyterians both had congregations in the area, including Fielding Union Church (formed 1918, through unification of local Presbyterians and Methodists).

Between 1951 and 1958, Ruddell joined Maymont Pastoral Charge (from Ruddell-Denholm Pastoral Charge) and it remained until around 1966, when the charge combined with Borden-Radisson and Speers-Richard Pastoral Charges to form the shared ministry Maymont Larger Parish. Four appointments continued -- Borden, Maymont, Radisson, and Speers -- while Ruddell, Fielding, and others closed. On August 1, 2004, Radisson also closed. The shared charge was dissolved June 30, 2005, and the three remaining points re-formed as separate Pastoral Charges: Maymont, Speers and Borden.

Sharon United Church (Maymont, SK);
Zion United Church (Radisson, SK) -- closed 2004;
Fielding United Church (Fielding, SK) -- closed 1966;
Pioneer Memorial United Church (Speers, SK);
Borden United Church (Borden, SK).

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.
