Pastor Armstrong is deeply committed to advocating for issues of justice, equity, inclusion, and access. Based on his early educational experiences of integrating Los Angeles public schools (in 1974) and his early childhood experiences of foster and kinship care through the Los Angeles County Child Welfare System, he has cultivated a deep conviction to embolden and empower marginalized and under-resourced communities. His policy training at Stanford University (BA in Public Policy), theological training at Princeton Theological Seminary (Masters in Divinity), and his clinical training at The College of NJ (postmasters EdS in Marriage and Family Therapy) has made him a respected voice in the national and international child and family wellbeing communities. He is the former Director of NJ’s Division of Child Abuse Prevention and Community Partnerships (2006- 2009) and the former Chief Administrative Officer to the United Nations for the Baptist World Alliance (2016-2002). In June of 2024, he was elected Board President of APSAC, the first Black male, and the first religious professional to serve in the position.
