History
Unity Pastoral charge was formed in 1925, as a new United Church charge, containing preaching points at Unity, Wasteena, Belton, and Ruth. Later preaching points in the charge included Phippen and Scott. By 1951, the charge comprised just Unity and Scotstown. The name was changed to Unity-Meridian Pastoral Charge around 1983 and Evesham preaching point was added (moved from Battleford Pastoral Charge, September 8, 1983), alongside Swarthmore, Senlac and Unity. The congregations at Swarthmore and Unity amalgamated, November 23, 2007, as Unity United Church.

Internal structures/genealogy
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.
