Wallard Pastoral Charge

• Ponteix-Wallard Pastoral Charge [ca.1940]

1925–1969?

Wallard Pastoral Charge was formed as a new aid-receiving United Church charge in 1925, part of Assinioboia Presbytery, with appointments at Wallard, Reliance and Buffalo Horn. It moved to Shaunavon Presbytery around 1926. As of 1940, Wallard is listed as part of the joint Pointeix-Wallard Pastoral Charge, consisting of Buffalo Horn, Glenvern, Gouverneur, and Reliance. The combined charge appears to have split again, sometime before 1946, leaving Wallard Pastoral Charge with Wallard, Buffalo Horn and Reliance (Ponteix Pastoral Charge retained Glenvern). By the 1960s, Buffalo Horn was no longer listed. The Charge appears to have closed around 1969 (no longer listed in Year Books), though records suggest the congregation continued, in some form.

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.
