Abbey Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, part of Swift Current Presbytery and containing preaching points at Abbey, Shackleton and Badger Mound. Later additions included preaching points at Lancer and Roe (before 1951), Portreeve and Lemsford.

In 1957, the charge combined with Leader Pastoral Charge (including Leader, Sceptre and Prelate) to form Leader-Sceptre-Abbey Pastoral Charge. Sometime near 1970, Abbey United Church separated, forming Abbey-Trinity Pastoral Charge. Around 1972, Lancer and Portreeve joined with Abbey to become Abbey-Lancer-Portreeve Pastoral Charge.

Leader-Sceptre-Abbey Pastoral Charge was formed around 1957, from an amalgamation of Abbey Pastoral Charge (including Abbey, Lancer, Portreeve, and Lemsford) with Leader Pastoral Charge (including Leader, Sceptre and Prelate). Around 1970, Abbey United Church separated, forming Abbey-Trinity Pastoral Charge, while Lancer and Portreeve remained within Leader-Sceptre Pastoral Charge. Lancer and Portreeve later left to form Abbey-Lancer-Portreeve Pastoral Charge, ca.1972. In 2018, the Sceptre congregation was disbanded.

Swift Current Presbytery was one of the original 16 presbyteries established by the first General Council of the United Church of Canada (June 1925), to be part of the new Saskatchewan Conference. Initial boundaries were based on the previous Swift Current Presbytery, which had been part of the Presbyterian Synod of Saskatchewan. Prior to Union, in 1925, there had also been a Swift Current District, in the Saskatchewan Conference of the Methodist Church.

In 1959, the presbytery was amalgamated with part of Assiniboia Presbytery (west of Highway 19) and became Cypress Hills Presbytery.
