Moosomin Pastoral Charge

• Moosomin Bethel Pastoral Charge
• Moosomin and Orangeville Pastoral Charge [ca.1925]

1925–

Moosomin Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, containing preaching points at Moosomin (Bethel United Church) and Orangeville, which was soon after reassigned to Wapella Pastoral Charge. Additional points included: Fleming (until closure, January 1, 1985).

Prior to Union, there had been Methodist and Presbyterian congregations in the area. The churches amalgamated in 1925, in what had been previously the Moosomin Methodist Church (built in 1889, dedicated 1890), and the Presbyterian St. Andrew's Church building (dedicated 1903, located on the site of an earlier Presbyterian Church, built 1884) was sold soon after.

Bethel United Church (804 Gordon Street, Moosomin, SK)

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.
