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 AUGUST PRAYER BASKET
God thank You for Your Spirit, who faithfully works in our lives, shaping us, strengthening us and comforting us...... Help us to intentionally follow His leading and guiding, and be an inspiration to others.
You tell us in James 1:19 AMP Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of carefully chosen words and], slow to angry [patient, reflective, forgiving]; Thank You for these instructions Lord, help us to learn them and put them into practice in our life.
May we have a heart that desires to be kind to others, not for show, but out of love for You and them. May our love be genuine.
Thank You for all the men and women who faithfully care for their families. Help us to do the same.
Having You beside us every moment of every day is such a comfort. Thank You
Thank You Lord for your love and Your faithfulness and for all the work You are doing around the world. May all those who are being transformed by Your word be nourished and strengthened in their faith in You.
Thank You for the many ways You pursue us. Thank You for the allies Your word goes down, the hot dry cold desert encounters with Jesus, the public squares where Your word is proclaimed, the way in which You bring comfort to hearts overflowing with tears. Thank You that we cannot hide from You. You see us, You understand, You care, You love and comfort us.
We pray for protection for our Refugee family. And for the “right time” to soon come for us to continue with our sponsorship of them.
We continue to pray for world leaders. We pray for softening of their hearts and for honesty and integrity to abound and respect for others.
Into Your Fatherly hand, we commit all for whom we pray.
