- Methodist Church (Loma, Colorado)
- According to the book The Church that Stayed by Virginia Donoho, The Methodist Church in Loma was founded in 1909 with a church building being constructed in 1913. Longtime resident Gertrude Rader moved to Loma around 1920 and became an active member of the church and of the affiliated Ladies Aid Society. The Church seems to have met in the houses of members, at least for a time, and to have had guest ministers. A popular minister was James Baggs Davis, a YMCA-affiliated minister who traveled to Loma to hold services. The Ladies Aid organization raised money for charities by selling dinners for 25 cents to tenant farmers and other people in the community.
