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.

OMNISCIENT God: Thank You Lord for being all knowing, for knowing everything!
OMNIPRESENT God: Thank You Lord for being everywhere, for being present everywhere!
OMNIPOTENT God: Thank You God for being all powerful, thank You that nothing is impossible for You!
Father, I can easily be sidetracked into thinking too much about creation without truly considering You -- the One who made all of creation! Help me to have a passion for Your word and to marvel at You! And help me to set aside time to encounter You in special sacred ways.
Lord God, we pray for comfort and hope for refugees all over the world. We pray relief workers would have enough resources, compassion and strength to help them and opportunities to share Christ with them.
We pray for all peoples with empty hearts and empty eyes!
May they know the joy of being loved by Jesus and the joy of loving Jesus!
Thank You for our fathers. May You give them wisdom and strength to carry out this noble task with its many responsibilities. And may True love abound in every home!
We pray for all those graduating. May they seek Your guidance as they journey through life and may they honor You with the talents You have given them.
We continue to pray for our Health Care System. We pray for wisdom for those making decisions. We pray for our Health Care Workers. May they have wisdom, compassion, strength and encouragement as they struggle with heavy loads. We give You thanks for all these workers!
As Peace Lutheran gathers for Visioning, help us to evaluate our ministry and ourselves and give us inspiration for planning and guidance in any decisions that are made.
