The Church first opened its doors on the 29th of September 1848. It was named the Church St. John the Evangelist and was consecrated by the Bishop of St. David’s, the Right Rev Connop Thirlwall.

The First Vicar of St. John’s was Dr George Fitzroy Kelly and he became the longest serving vicar, departing this life in 1878 at the age of 77

A brass memorial was placed on the pulpit reading

In 1894 St. John’s welcomed their fourth vicar the Rev David Prosser who served at St. John’s for 18 years before becoming the Bishop of St David’s and eventually the Archbishop of Wales.

In 1931 the Rev David Bartlett became the new vicar he held this position until 1947.
Throughout the Second World War blitz on Pembroke Dock, he invited the people of the town who had no air raid shelters of their own to use the vicarage basement when the sirens wailed their warnings.
Following a period of illness he returned to St. David’s College as a professor and was later appointed Bishop of St. Asaph.

In 1977, The Rev. Alan Thomas became the 10th Vicar of Pembroke Dock. A gifted preacher and radical thinker, he liked to challenge people. Despite this, he earned the reputation of being “A People’s Priest,” believing that the Church should always serve the community. As a consequence of this vision, the old church hall was modernised and converted into a Community Hall to serve the needs of the people of Pembroke Dock. He was made a Canon of St. David’s Cathedral in 1989, but sadly, was called to rest in 2004 at the age of 62.

Throughout many Vicars incumbent years at St. John's they were supported in their teachings of the bible by Mrs. Chrystal Collins who had been the Sunday School Supervisor for over 50 years and her dedicated ministry to children also covered the formation of a youth club and acolyte club.
