Histoire administrative
Watford - Warwick Pastoral Charge was formed ca. 1972 with the amalgamation of Watford and Warwick charges; it consisted of Watford and Warwick. With the closure of Warwick United Church in 2012, it became a single-point charge.
Watford Pastoral Charge was formed ca. 1961 when St. Andrew's Church and Central Church, both in Watford, amalgamated. The charge also included Bethesda Church and Zion Church, both in Warwick Township, and was discontinued ca. 1971, when Watford joined with Warwick to form Watford - Warwick Pastoral Charge, and Bethesda and Zion closed.
Watford United Church, located at 555 Ontario St in Watford, was established in ca. 1961 with the amalgamation of St. Andrew's United Church and Central United Church, both in Watford. It is still an active congregation of the United Church of Canada.
