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 September 2023
Thank You Lord for all that You have done for us, all that You are doing for us and all that You are going to do for us. May we humble ourselves and praise and glorify You.
Father God, may our roots grow down into YOU and draw up nourishment from YOU that we would be strengthened in our faith in YOU.
Lord God, we pray for encouragement for parents who are training their children in the way You want them to go. We thank You for the opportunity to add to this training as Sunday School and other classes begin again this fall. May parents, teachers and students get to know You better.
Dear God, we pray for Your blessing and favor today over our teachers, our kids and our schools. We ask that You would help our children to be strong and courageous as they tackle a new school year. Take from them any dread, anxiety, or grief that may want to steal their joy as they embark on a new school year. Remind them daily that You are with them and will never leave them! Give them the strength they need to walk through each day and may their school year be filled with sweet memories that they will cherish for their lifetime. Grant our teachers an abundance of Your wisdom and prepare their hearts to welcome and love our loved ones. May we show teachers love and respect in return, and keep them in our prayers.
Heavenly Father we prayer for all those who are suffering the loss of loved ones or other painful losses in life. Thank You that You too know what it is like to suffer. Thank You for comforting us! May we rest in your arms and experience Your peace as You surround us with Your great love.
Loving Father, we pray for all those involved in Prison Ministry. Give them wisdom and discernment
as they share the Gospel message with those whose lives are bitter, broken and lonely.
We pray for all Christians organizations as they plan for various events......prepare hearts to receive
Your messengers; prepare hearts to receive Your message and prepare hearts to receive You as Lord and Savior.
Lord Jesus, give us the strength and discipline to reject the many unhealthy distractions in today’s
world and steer our interests to those activities that glorify and bring us closer to You.
LORD IN YOUR MERCY HEAR OUR PRAYERS
