religious assembly

Worship service group

A religious assembly is a gathering of people for worship, prayer, or other spiritual observances.

The term appears frequently in legal contexts, particularly in discussions of religious freedom and the right to gather for religious purposes.

The constitution protects religious assembly from government interference.

Schools and public institutions sometimes hold religious assemblies for observances like prayer or holiday celebrations, though this practice varies by jurisdiction.
