History
In 1968 the Presbyteries of the Newfoundland Conference were consolidated into three administrative units: Avalon, Terra Nova and Humber Presbyteries. Terra Nova Presbytery was formed from the eastern part of Grand Falls Presbytery and the western part of Bonavista - Burin Presbytery. This was done in order to take advantage of the new network of roads that had been built in the interior of the province.
In 1992 the Conference was divided into two Districts, with the East District taking in Port Blandford pastoral charge and areas east, and the West District including Glovertown and areas west. Terra Nova Presbytery was divided between the two Districts.
