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.

Scripture: “Now to Him who is able to
do immeasurably more than all we ask
or imagine…” — Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)
Dear Church Family,
As we step into a new year, our hearts
overflow with gratitude for God’s
abundant blessings. We have witnessed
His provision, His grace, and His
faithfulness time and again. Truly, God
has been good to us.
Yet Scripture reminds us that God’s
ability far exceeds our expectations.
What lies ahead is not limited by what
we have seen before. God is always at
work, often in ways beyond what we can
imagine or predict.
“May the Lord bless you and keep
you; may His face shine upon you
and be gracious to you; the Lord turn
His face toward you and give you
peace.” – Numbers 6:24-26

Prayer for the New Year 2026
- Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
- If God seems slow in responding, it is because He is preparing a better gift. He will not deny us. God withholds what you are not yet ready for. He wants you to have a lively desire for His greatest gifts. All of which is to say, pray always and do not lose heart.
- What can be more excellent than prayer; what is more profitable to our life; what sweeter to our souls; what more sublime, in the course of our whole life, than the practice of prayer!

Good morning brothers and sisters. Spring has finally arrived – you can see this in the photo of my rubber tulips, a blessing to we in the North. This quilted cross in the background was a gift from my daughter Julie and reminds me so beautifully that in Christ Jesus our Redeemer, despite our present troubles, we have an eternal HOPE.
