Biggar Pastoral Charge was formed in 1925 as a new United Church charge, part of Wilkie Presbytery and consisting of Third Avenue United Church, in Biggar, Saskatchewan. Third Avenue United had been originally built in 1910, as a Union Church, with a congregation of Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists and Baptists. Early pre-1925 rural preaching points had also included Salter, Lett and Monarch. (By 1936, Monarch was a separate Pastoral Charge, with points at Kensmith, Gagenville and Wilson Lake). Around 1940, Biggar Pastoral Charge included preaching points at Crane Creek, Naseby and Salter, though these three returned to Cando Pastoral Charge sometime before 1946. (Cando Pastoral Charge would eventually join with Landis Pastoral Charge.)

In 2000, the charge became part of Prairie Pine Presbytery and, with the 2018 reorganization, it continued into the new Living Skies Regional Council.

Big River Pastoral Charge was originally formed in 1925, as the United Church's Eldred Mission Field, part of Prince Albert Presbytery and containing preaching points at Eldred and Big River.

Balgonie-McLean Pastoral Charge was created June 30, 2000, from the amalgamation of McLean Bethel Pastoral Charge and Balgonie Pastoral Charge (previously part of New Beginnings Pastoral Charge, to 1994).

Balgonie Pastoral Charge was formed as a new United Church charge in 1925, part of Regina Presbytery, with appointments at Balgonie, Newton and Pilot Butte. By 1936, the charge consisted of Balgonie and Newton and, between 1940 and 1946, Pasqua Reserve was also added. As of 1962, Balgonie and Pilot Butte were the only listed preaching points and around 1965, Pilot Butte formed its own separate charge, served from Regina St. James, while Balgonie was served from Brora, which it joined soon after.

Balgonie and Pilot Butte together formed New Beginnings Pastoral Charge, around 1982. On January 1, 1994, the charge divided again into Balgonie and Pilot Butte Pastoral Charges. Balgonie Pastoral Charge amalgamated with McLean Bethel Pastoral Charge, June 30, 2000, to form Balgonie-McLean Pastoral Charge.

By the 1960s, Wrights and Saltoun were no longer noted but points at Duff and Lorie had been incorporated, under the name Balcarres-Pheasant Forks Pastoral Charge. This was combined with Abernethy-Lemberg Pastoral Charge (a.k.a. Lemberg-Abernethy Pastoral Charge), ca.1969, to create Pheasant Creek Larger Parish. In 1989, the Parish split up into Abernethy-Lemberg, Balcarres, and Duff Pastoral Charges.
