Demaine Pastoral Charge was formed as an aid-receiving United Church charge in 1925, part of Moose Jaw Presbytery (then Elrose Presbytery, in 1926) and containing preaching points at Demaine, Bernard, Beechy, Jonesville and Sunkist. By 1932, Demaine had moved to be part of Lucky Lake Pastoral Charge and the remaining Beechy Pastoral Charge was listed with preaching points at Beechy, Coteau Plains, Crescent Valley and Sleepy Hollow. As of 1936, the charge consisted of Beechy, Collins, Coteau Plains, Jonesville, and Valient. Buffalo Basin was added by 1940, and Minnie Lake, by 1951.

By 1953, Beechy had joined Lucky Lake and Demaine, as part of Lucky Lake Pastoral Charge (renamed Coteau Hills Pastoral Charge in 1971). Beechy separated to re-form Beechy Pastoral Charge in 2017, leaving Birsay and Lucky Lake in Coteau Hills Pastoral Charge.
