For a total of eight years, they gave leadership to two Salvation Army Ray and Joan Kroc Corps Community Centers: first in Grand Rapids, Mich., for six years and then in Chicago for two. They have worked mostly in culturally diverse appointments and have had the privilege of starting two bilingual Spanish/English speaking corps (churches).

Major Karen holds a Bachelor of Arts in ethnic studies form the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and an Master of arts in leadership studies from Azusa Pacific University.
This is the Johnsons' second time serving The Salvation Army in Indiana. In the early 90s, they oversaw the day-to-day operations and ministries of the East Chicago corps community center in northwest Indiana.
