Trinity Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (originally Trinity Colored Methodist Episcopal Church) is a CME Church, currently meeting at the former Bonham's Skate Galaxy at 2501 Commerce Circle in Tarrant. Kenneth Smith has served as pastor since 2018.

The church was founded in January 1904 in a small frame structure built over "The Dump", a waste pile owned by U. S. Pipe & Foundry. It later constructed a new 400-seat church building at 3013 F. L. Shuttlesworth Drive (then Huntsville Road) in Collegeville. The sanctuary was designed so that it could be rearranged for banquets. The complex, decorated in purple and light gray, included administrative offices and conference facilities.

In June 2014, under pastor Charles Williams Jr, the church agreed to a land swap with the City of Birmingham to allow construction of the Council President Maxine Herring Parker Bridge. Trinity developed plans to relocate to Carraway Boulevard (26th Street North), on the block between 11th and 12th Avenue North, just north of I-20/59. Construction of a new 15,000 square-foot building, designed by Dorsey Architects, began around 2016 with Keystone Development Contractors Inc. as permit holder. The project stalled and the structure remains unfinished.
