Moore's Hill United Methodist Church, also known as Methodist Episcopal Church, is a historic Methodist church located at 13476 Main Street in Moores Hill, Dearborn County, Indiana. Although it was built in 1871, the congregation was founded in 1818. [2] It is a simple one-story, gable front, brick building with Greek Revival and Italianate style design elements. It rests on a limestone foundation and has four Doric order pilasters on the front facade.[3]: 5 

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.[1]

Due to declining membership, the church shut down in 2020 and is now run by Abundant Grace Bible Fellowship, a local non-denominational ministry. [4]
