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.

O God, You gave your only son to suffer death on the cross for our redemption, and by His glorious resurrection You delivered us from the power of death. Make us die every day to sin, so that we may live with Him forever in the joy of the resurrection!
He is risen! He is risen indeed! Thank You Lord
The tomb is empty! Thank You Lord!
He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today! Thank You Lord
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way! Thank You Lord!
Eternal Lord, Your kingdom has broken into our troubled world through the life, death and resurrection of Your Son! Help us to hear Your word and obey it, so that we become instruments of Your redeeming love.
Lord, life on this earth is challenging and each day I face obstacles that try to break my spirit and I sometimes feel defeated but through You my spirit can be renewed. Create in me a clean heart oh Lord and renew a right spirit within me. Thank You that you have promised to You will never leave us or forsake us! Please give me strength and guidance to over come these challenges.
