Borden Pastoral Charge was formed as a United Church charge in 1925, part of Battleford Presbytery and containing the Borden preaching point, as well as Halcyonia and Thistle Dale (as of 1926). By 1932, Thistle Dale was no longer listed and the charge had amalgamated with Radisson to form Borden-Radisson Pastoral Charge, with points at Borden, Halcyonia and Radisson. Around 1967, the charge combined with Maymont and Speers-Richard Pastoral Charges to form the shared ministry Maymont Larger Parish. After the shared ministry was dissolved, in 2005, Borden Pastoral Charge was re-established.

Borderlands Pastoral Charge was formed around 1968, from the combination of Rockglen Pastoral Charge (including Killdeer and Fife Lake) with Coronach. The new charge was part of Assiniboia Presbytery and contained appointments at Coronach, Fife Lake, Killdeer and Rockglen (Wesley United Church). The Killdeer preaching point eventually closed June 30, 1995.

Christine James (Chrisse) Bornstein (née Girgulus) was born on February 21, 1930. She attended the University of Saskatchewan, from which she earned a B.A. in 1952. While there, she began her involvement in theatre. Chrisse has had a long career in both amateur and professional theatre in Saskatchewan, working as actor, director, and in various additional stage/production capacities. She has worked for almost every theatre company in Saskatoon, including the Greystone Theatre (University of Saskatchewan); Gateway Players, Persephone Theatre, and Saskatoon Summer Players. Chrisse has earned numerous awards at the Saskatchewan Drama Festival for her work, including Best Actress, Best Director, and Best supporting actress. She married artist Eli Bornstein in 1965; they have two daughters.

Eli Bornstein was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on 28 December1922. He received his undergraduate (1945) and Master's (1954) degrees in Art from the University of Wisconsin, and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of Chicago, in Paris at the Academie Julian and the Academie Montmartre of Fernand Leger. He joined the faculty of the University of Saskatchewan in 1950. Bornstein has an extensive record of juried exhibitions, and commissioned works. His construction for the Saskatchewan Teachers' Federation building in 1956 was the first public abstract sculpture in Saskatchewan (if not Western Canada). Other commissioned work was created for the Winnipeg International Airport; the Wascana Centre; and the Canadian Light Source, among others. He is represented in numerous public and private collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Canada Council Art Bank, and the Saskatchewan Arts Board. In 1958 while on sabbatical, Bornstein met Dutch artist/scholar Joost Baljeu. Together they founded and co-edited the first issue of an art periodical, Structure. In 1960 Bornstein published the first edition of The Stucturist, an international art journal currently distributed in over 35 countries. The Structurist is multi-disciplinary: in recalling the first issue, one reviewer was "frankly amazed at the ambitious courage of the magazine, the quality of its design, and the embracing intelligence of the contents." Bornstein has served as editor since its inception, and has also been a frequent - and very often the most thought provoking - contributor. In 1959 Bornstein introduced a new course, 'Structure and Colour in Space,' which has become an area of specialization unique in North America. Internationally recognized as an artist, scholar and lecturer, Bornstein has been described as "a man of humane and noble letters, an artist with indefatigable personal vision and an inspired educator;" a "highly individual artist, and yet the source of inspiration for others." Upon his retirement from the University in 1990, Professor Eli Bornstein was awarded the degree of Doctor of Letters (DLitt), an honour based on the assessment of external referees and given in recognition of a "calibre of scholarship...substantially in advance of what is accepted for the PhD." Dr. Bornstein continues to edit and publish The Structurist and remains an active artist and writer.
