Building
Berle church has obvious similarities to the Nordsida church in Stryn and the interior is designed in the same way. The chancel is separated from the nave by a simple, square altar rail. The room is light, marked by the white concrete walls and the pine-panelled slanted ceiling, with narrow windows on the sides. On the side of the main room there are partition walls to the smaller assembly room, but both rooms are used for the major church services. The small assembly room is normally used for various club activities, festive occasions, church coffees, funerals, as well as meetings of the church council. The kitchen is also used as a baptismal vestry, whereas the vicar's vestry is located to the right of the chancel.
