Before joining the faculty at Luther Seminary in July 2019, Moore taught at Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University and Fuller Theological Seminary, where she established the William E. Pannell Center for African

American Church Studies and served as its first Associate Dean.

Fuller Seminary recruited her to provide vision for the center from the Divinity School at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, where she served as Associate Dean for Church Relations, Associate Dean for Black Church Studies, and Visiting Professor of Preaching.
