Welcome to St John's Church in Tenby
We are a United Reformed and Methodist Church. Our minister is the Reverend Stella Hayton and we are part of the South Pembrokeshire Pastorate which includes Tabernacle Pembroke and Chapels at Reynalton and Templeton. Stella joined us in late July 2018 and was formally Inducted at a special service on 1st September 2018. We are also pleased that her husband, John, a non-stipendiary minister, is also part of the ministry team.
We meet for worship each Sunday at 11.00am for 60 minutes, doors open at 10:40. Coffee served after the service so please stay and chat.
Every Wednesday 10 to 12 - coffee morning. We sell homemade welsh cakes and serve tea and coffee and have a stall selling all sorts. Please come along for a cake, a chat or a browse.
On Mondays between 2pm and 4pm our craft group meet in the hall for a chat and work on various crafts.
It will be lovely to see you. Use the postcode SA70 8JS for sat nats etc.
Our on-line activities can be found at swwalesmethodists.org.uk and include a mid-week bible study and a Sunday evening service zoom service at 6:00pm.
We are keen to care for creation which includes doing whst we can to reduce the impact on Climate change, we are an eco-church, supporting local and global charities, and promoting the Christian message of Good news to all.
If you would like to help in any way please get in touch.
We have a lovely Church, and we enjoy our involvement in the community of Tenby. Through the summer months we usually host concerts by various choirs and performers (see the calender page). We have a large church hall where Art and Craft Groups meet and have occasional exhibitions are held.
Recent summer feastivals have included a jigsaw exhibition and a teddy bear exhibition with exhibits depicting bible scenes and local scenes. Last year we host a lego exhibition in August and hope to do the same this year.
St Johns makes an excellent venue for weddings. We are registered for same sex and opposite sex couples. Funerals, weddings and baptisms by arrangement with the minister.

St Johns sits in the heart of Tenby and has a rich history, it remains a central part of the community and is enjoyed by locals and the many people visiting our iconic town.
The Church congregation began in around 1818. In 1822 the Tabernacle Church was opened on Lower Frog Street. This building was outgrown by the church congregation and a new church building was built in 1867 that we now recognise as St Johns.
St Johns was designed to suit the needs of the congregation at the time; it provided a sanctuary for the proclamation of the gospel to the community in worship and music.
This spirit continues to the present day and visitors to the church will find a place of reflection and calm alongside an exciting schedule of social events, concerts and arts exhibitions.
To find out more about the history of St Johns go to our history section or come along to one of our events.
