The first church in Oravais was likely built during the Middle Ages. At that time, the congregation was one of two chapels that, at the beginning of the 1500s, were joined to form Vörå parish. The old church's location is now marked by a memorial stone in the cemetery.
The current church was constructed at a new site in 1796–97. The bell tower was built in 1928, after the previous one burned down in a fire that occurred during painting work.
