History

Golden Prairie Pastoral Charge was formed as a United Church mission field in 1925, part of Swift Current Presbytery and containing preaching points at Golden Prairie, Kellarville and Clifton. As of 1940, the charge included Golden Prairie, Foch and Richmond appointments. By the early 1970s, the minutes and Year Books identified it as a Pastoral Charge (in Cypress Hills Presbytery), operating without a regular minister. As of 1977, the Charge is no longer listed in Year Books. According to the Official Board minutes from Golden Prairie (reference no. A.785.XV.SA.275), on March 24, 1977, the congregation decided to amalgamate with Maple Creek (alongside Piapot), as of July 1. Future services were planned to take place at Maple Creek United Church.
