Trinity Presbyterian Church (formerly Woodlawn Prebyterian Church) was a Presbyterian church founded in 1888 in Woodlawn. It moved to 4565 Montevallo Road near Eastwood Mall in 1971. Architect Edgar Batson designed the church's modern-style brick building with a folded-plate roof.
A second planned move, to Greystone, caused division in the congregation, and was not carried out.
By 2013 the church's membership had dwindled to 33. Trinity closed in June 2014 and its property reverted to the Presbytery of Sheppards and Lapsley. Its last pastor was Rick Jones.
