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 June
Lord God, thank You for being our heavenly Father and for the love you lavish on us!
Thank You for our earthly fathers and the love they lavish on us! Please continue to bless them and give them wisdom and insight for their responsibilities and strengthen them in their faith in you! Help them to shepherd their children in Your love and truth.
Lord God, our homes are our first mission field. Help all who dwell there in to lift hearts and hands and voices, in praise and thanksgiving to you.
Thank You heavenly Father that we are once again able to gather in Your House and together worship and praise you and hear the spoken Word. And we pray that Covid numbers would continue to go down so that we can continue to gather with family and friends in Your House of Worship.
We pray for all those who are graduating, that they would seek your guidance as they move into their future. May they have strength and perseverance during these trying times.
