Leader-Sceptre Pastoral Charge

• Leader-Sceptre-Abbey Pastoral Charge (ca.1957-197?)

ca.1957–

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.

Local church congregations in the United Church are organized into pastoral charges, each run by a governing body, such as a Council or Board. Charges can often include more than one local church or preaching place congregation under the leadership of a minister.
