Following service in the United States Navy during the Korean War, Armstrong returned to Pasadena, California, to attend his father's unaccredited Ambassador College, from which he received bachelor's, master's, and doctorate degrees. He was made a minister in 1955 and held key administrative posts in both the Worldwide Church of God and Ambassador College until he was disfellowshipped (excommunicated) from the church by his father in 1978. In the runup to his removal, he was considered "heir apparent" to succeed his father as head of the Pasadena-based operations.
