I am showing up on Google as a baptist church (!) which is very strange as I am a photographer and have nothing to do with churches. I contacted webmaster tools who told me the environment was broken but they couldn’t help. I contacted my host (Bluehost) who told me to contact wordpress as it is a wordpress content problem.I have no idea how to start fixing this problem….Please help!!!

When I Google your name, I get this as the top result:

http://66.147.244.134/~sharonmi/

As it turns out, 66.147.244.134 is a Bluehost IP:

Are you using wordpress.org or wordpress.com?

I am using wordpress.com.
Yes, my host is Bluehost.

I just can’t figure out where this Baptist church thing comes from and how I can get rid of it and get the link to google working again normally.

You need to contact Bluehost. You should not have the ip numbers in your site’s address like that. Probably why that church is in the Google results, maybe they had the same ip number once.

Just in case you didn’t know, if you go to your site via http://www.sharonminkoff.com/ the image gallery doesn’t work.

If you click on another link in your menu, like “About Me”, THEN go BACK to “HOME”, it will start showing the images on the HOME page gallery, and the address bar will now display http://66.147.244.134/~sharonmi/

Most peculiar

Also, Google search that has the church also has: “A description for this result is not available because of this site’s robots.txt” so maybe that Yoast SEO plugin you’re using is malfunctioning and needs an update?
