Joshua,

You need to be more specific.

What denomination are you looking for in this reenactment?

The 1730's are too early for The Great Awakening Movement in the
American Colonies but even so there were different religious groups in
different colonies - If this were Virgnia you would be looking for
Anglicans, Maryland would be Catholic, Massachusetts - Puritans, and
Pennsylvania might be more of a mix between Quakers and Anglicans.

Later in the 18th century - during the Great Awakening - there was an
explosion of lay preahcers, often common folk, who would testify and
lead camp meetings and such - and this is where you see the rise of
the Baptist, Methodist, and other denominations here in America. (I
remember seeing a wonderful Bejamin Latrobe watercolor of a Blacksmith
leading a Baptist meeting in the 1790's).

Cheers!
Dave
