About Us
Rev. Dr. Kebede F. Dibaba
The establishment of Lutheran Church and congregation in Fort St. John goes back to 1930. At that time, Pastor Peter Ellington was serving in the South Peace area and added Fort St. John to his schedule as he saw the need. The first formal service was held in 1945. The first resident Pastor was Pastor Osborne Olson who served from 1945 to 1951.
The church we are in currently, was built in October 1980. This Church is dedicated to the glory of God.
Looking back at the road traveled by the Peace Lutheran congregation since 1945, there have been several times when there appeared a fork in the road. Pastors and congregation contemplated which way to go. They sought God's guidance and will. God has honoured their commitment to Him.
On the 24th of February 2008, the BC Synod installed
Rev. Dr. Kebede F. Dibaba as a
Pastor of Peace Lutheran Church. He has been serving the congregation since then.

2025 MARCH PRAYER BASKET
Thank You Lord Jesus that You are the living Word and that the Bible is the written Word. Help me to worship You and feast on Your word for my spiritual nourishment. Help me to obey You and to put You first in my life. Please help me to submit my will to Yours so that I can fulfill the purpose You created me for.
Jesus, thank You for Your promise of peace. Whatever frightening or uncertain things I may face today, You are bigger than my problems and You have promised to always be with me and that gives me peace. Thank You for loving me and giving me Your peace. You are enough for every test.
Lord God, You are worthy of all my praise. When I feel overwhelmed You want to support me, thank You. When I feel discouraged, You want to encourage me, thank You. When I feel hopeless and alone, You surround and protect me, thank You. I will praise You because You are my source of strength, thank You.
Help me to reflect Your mercy and love in the way I treat others. Help me to treat them with the same abundant kindness and unconditional love that You show me. Help me not to lose heart but to persevere in doing good.
With thanksgiving, I lift up my loved ones to You, knowing that You carry them better than I do.
I pray for their spiritual, physical and emotional well being and commit them into Your Fatherly hand and Your tender loving care.
I seek Your help: in being faithful in the study of Your Word and faithful in prayer; in walking the paths of righteousness that You lead me on; in serving You and others with a humble heart.
Lord, You have told us to pray for our leaders...and so I pray for them that You would pierce their hearts and minds with the Light of the world and may they follow the Way, the Truth and the Life and rule with honesty and integrity with genuine love. May Your people faithfully pray for all leaders and witness of You and be used of You.
I pray for all people who are suffering....whatever the trials, whatever the afflictions, whatever the sorrows, whatever the challenges, may they experience Your presence, Your touch and be encouraged and comforted.
In Your Name I pray, AMEN
