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.

Scripture: “Now to Him who is able to
do immeasurably more than all we ask
or imagine…” — Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)
Dear Church Family,
As we step into a new year, our hearts
overflow with gratitude for God’s
abundant blessings. We have witnessed
His provision, His grace, and His
faithfulness time and again. Truly, God
has been good to us.
Yet Scripture reminds us that God’s
ability far exceeds our expectations.
What lies ahead is not limited by what
we have seen before. God is always at
work, often in ways beyond what we can
imagine or predict.
“May the Lord bless you and keep
you; may His face shine upon you
and be gracious to you; the Lord turn
His face toward you and give you
peace.” – Numbers 6:24-26

Prayer for the New Year 2026
Prayer for the New Year 2026
- Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
- If God seems slow in responding, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.
- What can be more excellent than prayer; what is more profitable to our life; what sweeter to our souls; what more sublime, in the course of our whole life, than the practice of prayer!

2026 MARCH PRAYER BASKET--Jean von Hollen
I am sitting at my kitchen table watching the snow fall again.
The Prophet in Lamentations 2:11says “My spirit is poured out in agony as I see the desperate plight of my people. Little children .... are fainting and dying in the streets.”
Let us pray for the Tumbler Ridge Community;
Let us pray for our FSJ neighbours and our own children who are lost and suffering. We call out their names to you Lord.
Let us pray for the broken and suffering children of the world.
O Lord have mercy. May you provide them with water and food
and Living Water that it may “become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
Let us pray for Pastors (by name), missionaries, and chaplains that they may have open doors to share the message of Jesus to the children.
Let us pray for parents (by name), may they come to know and love Jesus and share the True Light of the world to their children.
Let us pray for teachers, school boards and the ministries of Education.
Thank you for their dedication and love of children. O Lord guide them as they impact our children, increase their love of Jesus, children and community. Bless their homes and families with faith in Jesus and the Joy of Your Salvation.
Jesus says in Matt 11:28 “Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”
As we cannot possibly bear the weight of brokenness around us and in us,
As the snow falls to the Ground today,
Let us Pray; O Lord take the burdens we carry and let them fall into your heart and hands. For we “dare to still hope when we remember this, the Faithful Love of the Lord never ends! His mercy never ceases.” Lam 3:21-22.
