Moe Church (Norwegian: Moe kirke) is a parish church in the municipality of Orkdal in Sør-Trøndelag county, Norway. The church is located in Vormstad, about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south of Orkanger. The church is located in the Orkdal parish which is part of the Orkdal deanery in the Diocese of Nidaros.
The original church was built in 1675 in nearby Svorkmo and that church existed until 1816, when it was moved to nearby Smedshaugen. That church was replaced in 1867 when the present church was built in Moe, on the south side of Vormstad. The present church was consecrated on 28 December 1867 by bishop Andreas Grimelund.[1][2]
