The First Baptist Church of Cornish, now known as Trinity Church, is a historic church at Meriden Stage Road and NH 120 in Cornish Flat, New Hampshire. This two-story wood frame structure was built in 1803, and is the town's oldest church building. Originally located Harrington and Parsonage Hill Roads, it was moved to its present location in 1818. It was originally built in the style of a colonial meeting house, with square pews and a gallery; the pews were removed during alterations in 1845-46, at which time the gallery level was built over into a second story. The building's Federal styling appears to have been inspired by the publications of Asher Benjamin. The town purchased the building in 2009.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
