Speers Pastoral Charge was formed as a United Church charge in 1925, part of Battleford Presbytery and containing preaching points at Speers, Keystone, Keatley and Wangarren [Wanganui?]. By 1932, listed points were Speers, Hafford, Keatley, and Keystone. With the addition of Richard (between 1932 and 1936), the name changed to Speers-Richard Pastoral Charge. As of 1940, only Speers, Richard, Bromley, Hafford and Keatley were listed in the charge. Around 1967, the charge combined with Maymont and Borden-Radisson Pastoral Charges to form the shared ministry Maymont Larger Parish. After the shared ministry was dissolved, in 2005, Speers Pastoral Charge was re-established.

Maymont Pastoral Charge was formed in 1925, as a United Church charge containing preaching points at Maymont, Fielding and Eastbourne. Prior to this, Methodists and Presbyterians both had congregations in the area, including Fielding Union Church (formed 1918, through unification of local Presbyterians and Methodists).

Between 1951 and 1958, Ruddell joined Maymont Pastoral Charge (from Ruddell-Denholm Pastoral Charge) and it remained until around 1966, when the charge combined with Borden-Radisson and Speers-Richard Pastoral Charges to form the shared ministry Maymont Larger Parish. Four appointments continued -- Borden, Maymont, Radisson, and Speers -- while Ruddell, Fielding, and others closed. On August 1, 2004, Radisson also closed. The shared charge was dissolved June 30, 2005, and the three remaining points re-formed as separate Pastoral Charges: Maymont, Speers and Borden.

R.W. Hardy was a Methodist and later United Church minister, who served congregations in Saskatchewan and British Columbia. He was born in 1890 and spent his childhood in Ontario, before attending the University of Toronto. He was ordained and married in June 1921, in Whitby, Ontario. He moved west and was assigned by the Methodist Church to the hospital in Hafford, Saskatchewan. From 1925 to 1930, Hardy served as a United Church minister in Speers and then Maymont, before transferring to Cranbrook, B.C.
