Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church is a historic former church building at 69 Main Street in New Britain, Connecticut. It is a large stone structure, built of granite and slate, on an Akron Plan design, with Richardsonian Romanesque style. It is particularly distinguished for its polychrome uses of both granite and slate to create distinctive effects. The church was completed in 1891, and was a major work late in the career of the notable architect Amos P. Cutting.[2]

The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
