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 July
Thank You heavenly Father for Your love, Your encouragement, and Your presence with us. Thank You for Your peace which passes all understanding, thank You for Your word through which You nourish us and strengthen us. Thank You for the gift of Your many promises that give us hope. Thank You for the strength You give us in the midst of the storms that surround us. Thank You Lord!
Create in me a clean heart oh Lord and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presences and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation and teach me to obey You.
Holy Father, we pray that your Spirit would use Your word to bring people to faith in You. For those who already know you may each one be encouraged to know you better.
Lord we pray for people who are wanting to have a Bible that they would have access to one. Especial we pray for those in areas where this is very difficult.
We pray for all those who are taking a break from their regular routines this summer. May they have rest and refreshment.
We pray that Christians and Churches would be the fragrance of Christ in our communities.
In your Name we pray. AMEN
