The Tveit church is a wooden church built in 2017. It replaces an old church from 1957, which had become too small for the number of parishioners. The bell tower and the gallery of the old church were preserved during the construction of the new building.

The Ask church was consecrated in 1908 and restored in 1954-55. The first attempt to build a new church on Ask failed in 1872 as the town council did not agree with the idea, but in 1903 a committee was appointed to find land, plans, financing and permits. The designs chosen to build the church later were an improved version of Sandeid's church in Ryfylke.
The Erdal church was first consecrated in 1995 and was considered a temporary church at that time. In 2003, the plans for phase 2 of the construction were presented, drawn up by the architect Jostein Tveit. The construction was completed between 2005 and 2006.
The church in Strusshamn is a brick church that was built in 1969. The first church was built in 1741 but burnt down in 1861. A new church was consecrated in 1864 but also burnt down in 1966.
