Humanly speaking, our church had its conception in the mind of Pastor Bob Vandermey of the Grand Island Bible Presbyterian Church. Under "Pastor Bob's" leadership, that church established "The Armor Bible Presbyterian Church" as a branch church starting on March 9, 1969.

The little group began to meet in the home of Don and Joan Fakler. In 1970 they moved to the "storefront" building that is now the Armor Liquor Store next to Hoak's Armor Inn. The church grew slowly under the care of the Grand Island Church. In 1971 the land on which our church now stands was purchased, along with a parsonage. In 1972 the first pastor, Paul Foster, was called. The church grew and was soon meeting in the Armor Fire Hall.

On April 28, 1975 this "little flock" was organized as an autonomous local church, yet we continued to receive support, financial and otherwise, from the Grand Island Bible Presbyterian Church.

In 1976 another young pastor, fresh out of seminary, Russell Sukhia came to replace Paul Foster who had been called to work as a Christian School principal. That same year we broke ground for the first phase of the existing building on Powers Road. In August of 1977 the first service was held in the new building. The church began to grow more rapidly and our first assistant pastor, Bill Dickerson was called 1982.

After seven years of fruitful ministry, Russell Sukhia left to start a new church in Florida, and "lo and behold" his brother Doug was called to be Senior Pastor in the summer of 1983!

Bill Dickerson left for another work, and in September of 1987 our church called Joe Keller as assistant pastor.

In August of 1990 our building expansion was completed enough for us to occupy what is our sanctuary. The old building was converted into nurseries and office space. Matt Gold served as a youth pastor from 1991 to 1993.

In the summer of 1997 Mark Turner joined the pastoral staff as an assistant pastor.

On June 22, 2003 Armor officially began the Covenant Bible Presbyterian Mission Church in Springville, NY. Worship services are being held at the Joylan theatre in Springville, NY.
