Trinity-St. James United Methodist Church is located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States.

The evangelist Billy Sunday had preached a revival there and over 300 people joined the church.

The congregation originally used the closed Danish Lutheran Church at K Avenue NW and Fourth Street NW for their services, and they moved the building that summer to Ellis Boulevard NW.

Construction began in September 1952 and it was completed in April 1954 for $165,000.
