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 Lord, we give You thanks and praise that You have made us righteous in Your sight through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
Dear God, Giver of joy, please help me to choose to follow You and believe and trust You this day and always.
Christ the King, please help me to choose clothes of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and love.
Heavenly Father, help me to honor You by striving to truly know and love others.
Lord God, our world is in a chaotic mess, foggy, confusing, dangerous and painful. Help me to keep my focus on You, You who has the whole world in Your hands, You who says I am the way, the truth and the life, You who will never leave us or forsake us, You our Good Shepherd, You our Friend, You our Savior and Redeemer, You our living Hope.
Thank You heavenly Father, that what ever dark or painful place I find myself. You will help me thru it. You long to take me in Your loving arms and You are never ashamed to call me Your child. Forgive me Lord for where I have wondered. Draw me close to You by the work of Your Holy Spirit in my heart. Thank You for Your faithfulness.
Comfort the lonely. Strengthen those who suffer loss and guide them thru the tomorrows. May those who weep experience Your presence. May the hungry be fed the nourishment they need. May the Homeless have warm safe shelters.
We pray for all those in our congregation who are struggling with health issues. May they experience Your touch, Your presence, and Your peace. May Your healing and Your will be done.
Lord, this is the day which You have made. We give you thanks and praise. And we give You thanks and praise that Your mercies are new every morning with each new day.
