The empty former Fordhouses Methodist Church off Stafford Road, would be knocked down and replaced with nine two-and-three-bed homes if a planning application is approved by Wolverhampton Council.
The church closed in March 2020 because of falling congregation numbers and has been empty since.
The 90-year-old building has since been condemned by the council, according to the application by Birmingham-based developer Meronford, after its roof collapsed exposing asbestos.
