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 2021
Thank You, Lord that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us"! Thank You, that "the Word still dwells among us"!
May we sing with Mary "Oh, how my soul praises the Lord. How my spirit rejoices in God my Savior!"
Lord God, as we celebrate the Babe in the manger, may we be ever mindful of the victory of the Cross, and Your soon second coming!
We continue to pray for our world and and all the disasters that are happening. We pray for wisdom and safety for all who are responding to help with repairs, restoration and recovery from all the damage. We pray for those who are suffering from losses. God of all comfort, give them comfort, wisdom and strength as they struggle with putting life back together and moving forward. Thank You heavenly Father, for promising us that You would never leave us or forsake us!
We pray that our Churches would reopen that we might gather together and worship You as a Church family.
We continue to pray for our local leaders and leaders around the world that they would seek your wisdom and guidance as they continue to deal with Covid and its variants. We prayer for all those who are sick with Covid, we pray for their families, and all health care workers. May each of them experience rest and peace with You.
Thank You for the Confirmation Class. We pray a blessing on Pastor Dibaba as he teaches or youth and interacts with them. May our youth be strengthened in their faith and may those who are being Confirmed remain steadfast in Your word.
LORD IN YOUR MERCY, HEAR OUR PRAYERS.
