Pastor Chad R. Armstrong was born to the union of Mr. and Mrs. Lonzo (Betty) Armstrong, Jr. and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. He graduated from Harry P. Harding High School in Charlotte and continued his education at North Carolina Agriculture and Technical State University in Greensboro where he graduated with an Accounting Degree. He furthered his education at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, where he received a Masters of Divinity Degree.

Pastor Armstrong was licensed to preach on March 2, 1997 and was ordained in 1999 by Greater Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church in Charlotte, N. C., where he served as Associate Minister. That same year, he began his pastorate at Spring Street Missionary Baptist Church in Henderson,
N. C. During his tenure, the membership quadrupled from approximately 125 to about 500. Additionally, they built a new edifice and liquidated this 25-year mortgage in seven years. Pastor Armstrong was elected as Pastor of Phillips Chapel Missionary Baptist Church on July 15, 2007.

Compelled to helping others, Pastor Armstrong prays that as he preaches, teaches, and sings the gospel, lives will be changed for the better. One of his greatest desires as he submits to God; obeys the voice of God; and follows after God, is that God will continue to develop and make him an effective servant for Christ who makes a significant impact for the Glory of God!
