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 + denomination=anglican;methodist.

denomination=adventist Adventism (not all Adventist Churches are Seventh-Day Adventist, see denomination=seventh_day_adventist)

denomination=african_methodist_episcopal African Methodist Episcopal Church, frequently abbreviated as AME. Not the same as denomination=african_methodist_episcopal_zion. See also denomination=methodist.
denomination=african_methodist_episcopal_zion African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, frequently abbreviated as AME Zion. Not the same as denomination=african_methodist_episcopal (frequently mistagged). See also denomination=methodist.

denomination=calvinistic_methodist Calvinistic Methodists.

Note also that despite the name, the theology of the denomination is not very Calvinist (q.v. reformed).
