History

Lumsden Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, part of Regina Presbytery and consisting of preaching points at Lumsden (St. Andrew's), Forest and Wascana. Predecessors included Forest Rural [Presbyterian] Church (from ca.1880s, in what was then Carssdale, SK), Lumsden St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (ca.1890s?), Wascana Rural [Methodist] Church (ca.1888), and Lumsden Wesley Methodist Church (ca.1897). The congregation at Forest amalgamated with Lumsden in 1957 and Wascana Rural closed in 1961, with some of that congregation also joining Lumsden. Around 1970, Craven was added to the Pastoral Charge, though this church eventually closed, December 31, 1991. The Pastoral Charge remained (consisting of St. Andrew's United Church) through the 1990s and moved from Regina Presbytery to the new Wascana Presbyery, in 2000. As of 2019, the charge became part of Living Skies Regional Council, along with other Saskatchewan charges remaining.
