Catholic, Congregationalist, Lutheran, Methodist, Moravian, Orthodox, Presbyterian, and Reformed, often meet monthly to discuss local issues that they can collectively address, in addition to hosting events such as community Lenten services, or an interdenominational Good Friday service.In the United Methodist Church there are church clusters which consist of three of more congregations.
