i have reason to believe that my son was adopted by the pastor of the Englewood Church of Christ in October of 1976. at that time, the church was leasing space in the basement to the adoption agency, Colorado Christian Services (they have long since moved). have contacted the church and the pastor relocated long ago, secretary could not remember who the pastor was in 1976. have searched online memberships of the church and am stonewalled. does anyone have any ideas on how i can find out who the pastor of this church was in 1976?

I may not be of any help but I was also adopted through the Colorado Christian Services agency and my adopted family were members of the Church of Christ in Durango, CO. I may be able to put some feelers out there to some of the members I still have contact with and see if they may know of anyone. It's a long shot....but maybe worth trying. Let me know if interested,...or if you just need to talk.

OMG! ANY info you can provide will certainly help, I am sure. I believe that if I can find the name of the pastor at the Englewood Church of Christ in 1976, that information will open doors that are currently closed to me. It will give me a last name, I hope, and that will surely help in my search. If it isn't too much trouble, I would certainly appreciate anything you are willing to do. Thank you so very much for your reply.
I'de be glad to see what I can come up with. It may not be right this second but if I hear anything I'll let you know. I know I probably took your breath away. Tonight I just recieved my medical record from my birth which accidently had a copy of my original birthcertificate in it. I now know what my mothers full name and birthdate is......and that has put me almost in a state of shock. SO hold on for the ride. I will do my best to come up with something. Keep in touch.

Contact Olan Mills and Lifetouch and see if either company did their pictorial directory in 1976. If so, see if they have a copy of it, or a record of the pastor(s). Also, call the church back and ask for a current pictorial directory. Sometimes there are history pages, homecomings, etc. Look through it and find the oldest members and write or call them and see if htye know who the pastor was then.
that's a great idea! olan mills did senior pictures for many of my friends from high school, so i am familiar with them. i may also contact jerry werth, since his shop did my senior pictures and is located just down the street from the adoption agency. i will certainly be contacting them both, and the church as well. thanks so very much for your input, i appreciate it immensely!

I think you should contact the Littleton Church of Christ. They have had the same pastor for over 30 years, and I know that he is in close contact with the other churches, and I bet that he would know the pastors name that was at englewood. I am also adopted through CCS, and I have a brother who is adopted through CCS. He was born on 12/11/76. Maybe this can help. Good luck!
