Biographical history
Methodist Church services began in the Armstrong area as early as 1883. By 1891, the Shuswap and Okanagan Highway reached into the valley, and the population of the area grew, as did the Methodist church membership. An increase in church membership resulted in the building of the Armstrong Methodist church. The church was dedicated on December 11, 1892. The Armstrong Methodist congregation was originally part of the Spallumcheen Pastoral Charge which included Enderby, Landsdowne, Schuberts (or Round Prairie), Pleasant Valley, Vernon (then known as Priests' Valley), Mission and Grand Prairie. By 1896 the mission field of Spallumcheen was divided into two parts. Armstrong, Enderby and North as one point and the southern portion from Vernon southward, as the second point. In 1911 Armstrong Methodist Church became a separate charge. Presbyterian services in the Armstrong area date back to 1886. Services were originally held in the Armstrong Methodist church until the Zion Presbyterian Church was opened on January 5, 1902. The Methodist and Presbyterian congregations entered church union in 1925, with services being held in the former Presbyterian church building.
