From Wales-More than 10 Anglican churches a year are closing Wales, figures have shown.
Data from the Church in Wales showed 115 churches have closed over a 10-year period, about 8% of the total, with 1,319 still in use.
There are currently 11 properties advertised for sale on the church's website.
The Church in Wales said closures were a "significant issue" and while the sale rate had stayed steady, it was unlikely to slow down.
Head of property, Alex Glanville, said there was a move to take a regional look at churches rather than let each one deal with the issue on its own.
