Maidstone Pastoral Charge was created as a United Church augmented charge in 1925, part of Battleford Presbytery. By 1951, the charge consisted of Maidstone, Bresayler, Keyworth and Paynton (Knox), but later (as of 1962) Bresayler and Keyworth were replaced by McLaren. Sometime in the early-1980s, the charge was re-named Maidstone-Paynton Pastoral Charge. The preaching point at Paynton closed on October 17, 1999.
