cross-denominational
Across church lines
Cross-denominational describes activities, organizations, or efforts that span multiple religious denominations rather than being confined to one: a cross-denominational prayer service, cross-denominational dialogue between Protestant churches.
The term appears most often in Christian contexts, where denominational boundaries—Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic—traditionally define separate communities of worship and doctrine.
