The AMO's Built heritage in Hong Kong says:

[The present church building] was built in 1936/37. In 1890 the Holy Trinity Church was founded by Koo Kai-tak (顧啓德) and his wife of the Anglican Church who preached the gospel in a family format. The congregation grew in the following years. In 1902, with the help of Pastor Kwong Yat-sau (鄺日修牧師), the first church was built at the foothill of Sung Wong Toi (宋王臺). It was relocated and rebuilt on the land next to the Victoria Girls’ School in 1905 due to the construction of Sung Wong Toi Park (宋皇臺公園).
In 1936 the Church moved to the present site to make way for the
construction of Kai Tak Airport (啓德機場).

With the new 1920 Kowloon map, it is now possible to give the exact location of the church. It's a bit further south in the vicinity of the current cathedral.

Thanks Klaus, I've updated the marker's location.
