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
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!

Gracious God .......thank You for this past year of 2025, which was full of Your blessings and love for us and Your mercies were new every morning. Thank You for walking with us through our valleys of pain and the joys of our mountain top experiences.
Lord God,
As we begin our journey through 2026,
Help us to cherish the bread before there is none.
Help us to discover each other before we leave.
Help us to enjoy each other for what we are while we have time.
And please help us to always keep focused on You, the all knowing, everywhere present and all powerful God.
Father God,
We complain about the rose bush with thorns,
But help us to be thankful for the thorn bush that has roses.
Light of the world.
As the Wise Men followed the light of the Star.
Help us to follow You, The Light of the world.

You be honored and glorified in the ministries here at Peace Lutheran Church and the outreach to our Community and beyond.
