Morphology
interdenominational = denominational (transparent) = inter + denomination + al
Adding the productive prefix 'inter-' ('between/among') to 'denominational' straightforwardly yields 'involving multiple denominations'.
Etymology
Interdenominational combines inter- meaning 'between', like in the word international, and denomination meaning a religious 'group' or church. So something interdenominational involves or is shared by different churches.
