Its arrival follows the success of Jerram's Floating Earth, which attracted more than 31,000 visitors during its time in Jersey.
ArtHouse Jersey chief executive Tom Dingle said the organisation was excited to bring another of the artist's large-scale installations to the island.
"Following the incredible response to Floating Earth, we're looking forward to bringing another of Luke Jerram's extraordinary artworks to Jersey," he said.
He said the projects had a "wonderful ability to capture people's imaginations and bring the whole Island together".
Butterfield Jersey branch manager Michelle Le Blond said the organisation was proud to continue supporting public art projects that could be enjoyed by the whole community.
"Moon is an opportunity to bring people together through a shared cultural experience," she said.
The Rev Keith Sandow, superintendent of the Methodist Church in Jersey, said the church was delighted to host the installation and welcome people through its doors.
The installation will be open daily throughout its two-week stay, with dedicated quiet hours on selected dates for visitors looking for a calmer experience.
