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.
Prayer Basket
2025 MAY PRAYER BASKET
Heavenly Father, I pray for the forgiveness of my sins. I pray for the forgiveness of the things I have said and shouldn’t have and for things unsaid that I should have said, for things done and things left undone. I pray for forgiveness of my indifference and apathy, my stubbornness and pride, my evil thoughts and desires. I pray for the forgiveness of sins that I am not aware of. Create in me a clean heart O God and renew a right spirit within in me.
Thank You, Creator, for Spring, for this time of year when more birds upon the tree tops sing their song. This time of year when we see new life in nature and in creatures. May we also see new spiritual life in people and may it be nourished by the Living Water, to go forth singing joyful songs to the Lord.
I pray for rain for our dry ground.
Faithful God, You are my provider. Please help me look to You in trust and rely on You at all times.
You said that in this world I will have many troubles, but that You have overcome the world. Thank You that You are with me to lead and to guide. And as I travel the difficult and painful circumstances please give me strength and peace as we journey this path together.
Heavenly Father help me to be more loving and patient with those You place in my path. And please help me extend Your love and care to others. May I be a light for You in this world of darkness.
Thank You for the gift of the Bible, Your word. May I faithfully read and study Your Love Letter to me. And I ask for Your Spirit to guide me. Help me to have a daily quiet time with You
Lord I am busy. Too busy. Help me to replace my busyness with being “still so I can know that You are God” so that my life may be fruitful for You.
I pray for our newly elected leaders, for honesty and integrity. May they lead in humility with servant hearts for the good of our country and not with selfish motives. May I pray faithfully for all leaders at all levels of government, for all sectors of our society, remembering that leadership begins in the home.
I pray for our world giving thanks to You, that You have the whole world in Your hands. May hearts soften and hunger for You. Thank You for the many ways Your word is spread around the world. Thank You for all those who are surrendering their lives to Jesus. May they be nourished and strengthened in their new found faith and get the encouragement they need.
I pray for all who are struggling with health issues. I pray they will get proper diagnoses and the proper treatment they need. I pray for improvement of our Health Care System and I give thanks for all the good Care Givers we have.
I thank You for my Pastor and his family. Thank You for the ways they bless and encourage me. May I be a blessing and encouragement to them.
Lord in Your mercy, hear my prayer.
