Institutionele geschiedenis
The Flat Islands Mission was created in 1873 in the Newfoundland District of the Wesleyan Methodist Conference of Eastern British America. Rev. Thomas H. James became its first pastor in 1875. Its appointments were Flat Islands, Oderin, Harbour Buffett, Woody Island, Sound Island, Mortier Bay, and Rock Harbour.
Before this, Port Elizabeth had been a congregation in the Burin Methodist Mission, with some 20 Protestant families living in the community by 1853. In the late 1870s, the mission was expanded to include the Sound Island Mission. This composite mission lasted until 1883, when the two parts were separated. In 1892, Oderin (Gallows Harbour) and Paradise were added to the communities ministered by Flat Islands. At the time of Church Union in 1925, the mission was made up of Flat Islands, Hay Cove, Boat Harbour, and Baine Harbour.
In 1970, the Port Elizabeth Pastoral Charge consisted of appointments of Boat Harbour, Baine Harbour, Red Harbour, and Little Bay East. In 1969, the people on the island resettled, and the pastoral charge moved its headquarters to Little Bay East.
