Vandura Pastoral Charge was formed as a new self-sustaining United Church charge in 1925, part of Qu'Appelle Presbytery. The Vandura preaching appointment moved into Earlswood Pastoral Charge, ca.1926, alongside Iona, Brookside, Fairmede, and Earlswood. By 1932, Vandura Pastoral Charge was re-established, with points at Vandura, Iona, Fairmede, and Brookside. As of 1936, the Fairmede and Vandura points were listed as part of Kelso-Walpole Pastoral Charge, while Brookside was with Kennedy-Langbank Pastoral Charge. Vandura Pastoral Charge was re-established by 1940, consisting again of Brookside, Iona, Fairmede, and Vandura. Between 1951 and 1962, Brookside left the charge, and by 1965, only Vandura and Fairmede remained. Vandura Pastoral Charge likely closed around 1975.
