Administrative history
Lethbridge District, a court of the Methodist Church, was established in 1907 under the jurisdiction of Alberta Conference. The bounds of the district included circuits in the vicinity of Lethbridge, Alberta and changes over time are documented in the year books published by the Methodist Church.
As with all Methodist Church districts, Lethbridge District had oversight of the Methodist congregations within its bounds, and for clergy, laymen, the examination of students, church property, finances and social work. Officers of the district included the Chairman and a number of secretaries, including Financial, Journal, Statistical, Evangelism and Social Service, Missionary, and Religious Education Secretaries.
Lethbridge District continued to exist until 1925 when the Methodist Church united with the Presbyterian Church in Canada and the Congregational Churches of Canada to form the United Church of Canada and the new entity known as Lethbridge Presbytery was formed.
