Trinity Methodist Church, also known as Trinity United Methodist Church and New Light Baptist Church, is a historic Methodist church located in Richmond, Virginia. It was built between 1859 and 1875, and is a three-story, Italianate style stuccoed brick structure. It features a three-stage central tower, with an octagonal third stage that rises above the ridge of the gable roof. The tower once had a fourth stage open octagonal belfry and spire, that was removed in 1955 after being damaged in Hurricane Hazel.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
