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
2025 DECEMBER PRAYER BASKET
Lord God, I am tossed about by seemingly insurmountable obstacles, mixed with pain and despair, help me to turn to You and count my blessings, and give thanks to You for who You are, what You have done and what You are continuing to do. Help me to develop a heart of gratitude and rest in You.
Thank You that You know what I am going through. Thank You for being with me in all my moments, both big and small, in both sorrow and in joy.
For family and friends who are sick we pray. May they experience Your peace. Give wisdom to all medical staff for wise decisions, accurate diagnoses and proper treatment. And we pray for strength and compassionate, for loving Care Givers.
Father God, despite the challenges and “thorns in my flesh” may I walk faithfully with You as Paul and millions of other men and women of faith did down through the ages. Help me to keep my focus on You, trusting You, resting in You, being strengthened and comforted by You.
Gracious God, thank You for Your gift of love for me and all people. As we celebrate and give thanks this Christmas for Your gift of love, may Your love flow through us by our kind words and actions, to those around us. Especial to the homeless, the hungry and those in need of someone to love them.
All knowing God, we pray for our world and all the pain and suffering and horror that is happening, caused by human actions and natural disasters. Lord our hope is in You, our strength and help comes from You. Enable and protect Your servants who are serving in dangerous places and in extreme difficult places. May they know Your perspective and experience Your presence. And may we be found faithful in praying for them.
Thank You Father that this babe, that was once in a manger, is our hope, our joy our peace, our solid rock, our foundation, our Savior and our Lord, the Word made flesh.
May our hearts truly overflow with gratitude.
In Jesus’ name we lift our requests to You Heavenly Father, Amen.
