Interfaith worship spaces are buildings that are home to congregations representing two (or more) religions. Buildings shared by churches of two Christian denominations are common enough, but there are only a few known places where, for example, a Jewish congregation and a Christian congregation share their home.

Such buildings are of interest as concrete ventures in the interfaith understanding which many religious groups now espouse.

There are several cases in North America where a small congregation of one faith is a tenant in a building owned and chiefly occupied by a congregation of another faith. However, only two instances are known of buildings that were planned and erected as joint projects.

In Ann Arbor, Michigan, St. Clare of Assisi Episcopal Church and Temple Beth Emeth share a building called Genesis of Ann Arbor.

In Waterloo, Ontario, Westminster United Church and Temple Shalom share The Cedars Worship and Community Centre.
