The term church is open to interpretation and debate. However, for the purposes of this article, it will be used to mean any building which was built for the primary purpose of Christian worship, for any recognised denomination of Christianity.

The building must still be standing. The building has a known floor area of more than 2,000 square metres (22,000 sq ft).
