I need a word to describe any community that is religious. For example, a Church Group or Temple Youth Group. Would Religous Institution be correct?

Edit: As single word would probably be impossible, 2 or 3 word phrases would also work.

  • Cannot think of any single word that conveys all off these permutations. Those two together do seem to convey what you want.

Normally the word "community" would suffice. You can also use "church" in a multi-faith sense although many readers may identify that word specifically with Christianity.

  • That would be good, but the problem is I am using it in a context with other groups that are specified as a type of "Community"
