Robin, As I recall, there was a church on a hill, located on the east side of highway 127. Since my mother's family was Baptist, I am assuming that was the Baptist church as we used to go there with my grandparents and aunts and uncles. It was white with a steeple. Is this the church you photographed? Was there another chuch in "downtown" Pomona? If you would like to share the photo with the list, you could send me a scan of it and I will post it (or any other pertinent photos) on a web page.

There were two churches in that area. In "downtown" Pomona that church is no longer in used since it has collapsed. I do believe that one is Baptist. Starting from the store, headed north, you go past the church and take the road to the left. There is church at the top of that hill which is white with a white steeple. It also has a cemetery. Unfortunately, some of the graves are now covered up and lost. I was looking for my great grandparents there but the best I can do is simply photograph the old part of the cemetery. I think this church is Methodist and I believe the name is Jerusalem Methodist Church but I am working off memory. This church is still in use.
