History
Responsibility for the area covered by the St. John's District of the Methodist Church of Canada was transferred to the St. John's Presbytery of the United Church of Canada in 1925. The Presbytery included the area covered by Burin Presbytery from 1928 - 1929. It also included Labrador.
In 1962 the Presbyteries of St. John's and Carbonear were amalgamated to form Avalon Presbytery, and responsibility for Labrador was transferred to Grand Falls Presbytery. In 1985 St. John's Presbytery was re-established. It was included in the East District at the time of re-organization in 1992.
