1925–

Naicam Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925. It primarily consisted of Bethany United Church (built ca.1939), in Naicam, and Spalding United Church (until 2009). Pleasantdale became part of the charge later. In October 2001, the charge was renamed Three Oaks Pastoral Charge. In March 2008, it was renamed Five Oaks Pastoral Charge. The preaching point at Pleasantdale closed on September 30, 2007. Spalding closed on May 31, 2009.

Bethany United Church (Naicam, SK);
Spalding United Church (Spalding, SK) -- closed 2009;
Plesantdale United Church (Plesantdale, SK) -- closed 2007.

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. In some cases, a United Church may also partner with a nearby church of another denomination, forming a shared ministry charge.
