Pr. Ken Johnson
Pr. Ken Johnson became the pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in 1998. He and his wife Mary have three children; Ingrid, Lars and Kaijsa.
Pr. Ken grew up in the Detroit area and completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Michigan. For the year following his graduation, he traveled and worked in various group homes and summer camps. He then attended seminary at the Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago.
Pr. Ken completed his internship in Sweden, after which he returned home to finish seminary. He returned to Sweden after graduation, where he attended graduate school and was then ordained at Västerås.
When he came back to Michigan, he served two parishes in metro Detroit: Bethel Lutheran Church in St. Clair Shores and St. John’s Lutheran Church in New Baltimore. At this time, Trinity Lutheran Church was fortunate to welcome him into our church family and we have been blessed by his years of leadership!
