Tools for this tag

Defines the subgroup (denomination) of a specific religion. Should be used together with religion=* and a primary feature tag such as amenity=place_of_worship, landuse=religious, or amenity=school.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of denominations for the purpose of consistency in tagging. Please add to the list as items occur.

In case of multiple denominations applying (for example two groups sharing a place of worship) semicolon-delimited tagging can be used, for example religion=christian + =anglican;methodist.

Churches and rites in union with the Catholic Church

Larger Protestant denominations (categories)
These protestant denominations are categories which often include several different organisations, which can be tagged with operator=*, though sometimes are tagged as the =* instead (see following table of less common values)
=protestant Unspecified Protestant church. Use of "Independent" non-conformist chapels in Wales. Often a more specific denomination can be tagged:
=adventist Adventism (not all Adventist Churches are Seventh-Day Adventist, see =seventh_day_adventist)
=anabaptist Anabaptism

Protestant Church Organisations
These protestant church organisations are sometimes called "denominations" in some dialects of English, but usually they are considered to belong to a larger denominational category. Instead of tagging with =* it is possible to uses these values with operator=* and use the larger category in the =* tag.
=african_methodist_episcopal African Methodist Episcopal Church, frequently abbreviated as AME. Not the same as =african_methodist_episcopal_zion. See also =methodist.
=african_methodist_episcopal_zion African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, frequently abbreviated as AME Zion. Not the same as =african_methodist_episcopal (frequently mistagged). See also =methodist.

=calvinistic_methodist Calvinistic Methodists. It is preferable to tag Welsh Calvinistic Methodist churches as =presbyterian as indeed the alternative name of the church, the Welsh Presbyterian Church, makes clear. The church body is the operator rather than denomination per se. The vast majority of such churches should have both name:en=* and name:cy=*. Note also that despite the name, the theology of the denomination is not very Calvinist (q.v. reformed).
=catholic_apostolic Catholic Apostolic Church
=church_of_god_in_christ Church of God in Christ, frequently abbreviated as COGIC. Imported GNIS nodes may often have the incorrect name of "Church of God and Christ" and should be corrected after verifying with survey or street-level imagery.
