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 December 2022
Lord Jesus, when You came the first time, You came to die, when You come the second time, You will raise the dead.
As we journey through this Advent Season and celebrate with thanksgiving Your first coming, help us to be ever mindful and ready for Your soon second coming! May we humbly kneel before You in worship and Praise You.
Heavenly Father, we pray for the lonely and the homeless. Help us to reach out to them in love and compassion that they too would experience the wonder and joy of the Babe in the manger and the love of Jesus.
Lord we pray for wisdom for all those in authority who bear the load for making decisions. Lead and guide them and may they come to realize their need of You and Your help.
Lord God, we pray for wisdom for ourselves as we navigate these times of uncertainty.
Help us to keep our eyes on You, trusting You...You, the only wise God, all knowing, all powerful, everywhere present.
As health care workers continue to experience enormous pressures give them relief, strength and energy and may they look to You for love and guidance.
We pray for safety for all who are travelling. May we have respect for roads and weather conditions and for others no matter where we are.
Thank You Father for the creative ways You are using technology to spread the Good News. We pray many would come to faith in You, and be nourished and strengthened in their faith in You.
Go tell it on the mountains
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountains
That Jesus Christ is born!
Heavenly Father, like the shepherds, may we too "go tell" it to our neighbors, relatives, friends, strangers and our enemies the good news that Jesus Christ is born and is soon coming again.
Lord, hear our prayers. Amen
