Fore Church (Norwegian: Fore kirke) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Meløy Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located in the village of Reipå. It is one of the churches for the Fore og Meløy parish which is part of the Bodø domprosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Sør-Hålogaland. The white, wooden church was built in 1909 using plans drawn up by the architect O. M. Olsen. The church seats about 450 people.[1][2]

History

The church was originally built in 1909 in a neo-gothic, long church style. It was consecrated on 17 June 1909. In 1932, the church was renovated and expanded by adding two transepts to give it a cruciform design.
