Bering kirke er en valgmenighed.
Valgmenighed er den betegnelse, man bruger, når en gruppe medlemmer af folkekirken danner en særlig menighed.
Valgmenigheder hører under folkekirken og skal som sådan godkendes af kirkeministeren. Kravet for godkendelse er, at mindst 50 personer, der har valgret til menighedsråd, skriver under på ansøgningen, og at en person, der er kvalificeret som præst i folkekirken, erklærer, at han ønsker at blive præst for valgmenigheden. Valgmenigheden skal selv afholde alle udgifter, inklusiv aflønning af præsten, men medlemmerne betaler til gengæld ikke kirkeskat. Valgmenigheder står i modsætning til frimenigheder under opsyn af biskop og provst.

her.Fællesskabet begynder i kirken og fortsætter billedlig talt i forsamlingshuset, her så tydeligt udtrykt med de to bygninger på hver sin side af "beringstrædet" som to sider af den samme sag.
Stedet, hvor kirken blev rejst hed oprindeligt Bering Mark efter landsbyen Bering, lidt syd for Skanderborgvej mellem Hasselager og Hørning. Og derfor kom valgmenigheden til at hedde Bering Valgmenighed
Bering Kirkeby, som det blev til, er nu vokset helt sammen med villakvartererne i Kolt, men tegner sig stadig i landskabet med kirke, kirkegård, præstegård og forsamlingshus samt jordtilliggende på ca. 10 tdr. land som en stilfærdig og smuk helhed på Torshøjvænget med det ene ben i byzone og det andet i landzone i den sydvestlige del af århus Kommune.
Helt fra begyndelsen er beliggenheden valgt meget centralt for færdselsmulighederne, i sin tid jernbane og landevej, nu også med meget kort afstand til motorvejsnettet ved århus Sydvest.
Bering Kirke blev indviet 2. Pinsedag 1876, den 5. Juni. Den fik navnet Pederskirken, eller Skt. Peders Kirke, et navn der indlysende grunder sig i pinsen som den kristne kirkes fødsel og apostelen Peter som den klippe kirken skulle bygges på.
Kirken er karakteristisk for tiden med sine nøgterne, nyromanske stilformer, tegnet af arkitekten Wilhelm Puck, århus, der også forestod dens opførelse, og som yderligere i årene derefter satte sit præg på egnens kirkebyggeri med kirkerne i Sønder Galten og Storring i samme stil, der ligeledes dannede forbillede for opførelsen af Holme Kirke.
Kirken er opmuret i røde teglsten over en sokkel af to skifter granit. Taget er tækket med skifer. Bygningen består af kor med to vinduer, skib med otte vinduer samt tårn med ottedelt spir, oprindeligt afrundet med otte dekorative kviste, som siden er fjernet. Tårnet afsluttes i en ottesidet overdel med rundbuede glamhuller. Underdelen af tårnet tjener som våbenhus.
Indvendig er kirken med pulpitur mod vest, fladt træloft i koret samt et hvælvet træloft i skibet, der leder tanken hen på den nordiske mytologis Valhalla.
Kirken fremstår i dag med meget få ændringer fra dens opførelse. Døbefonten stod oprindelig midt på gulvet foran korbuen, men blev rykket over i venstre side af skibet, da den gamle store kakkelovn med skorsten i skibets nordøstre del, blev fjernet til fordel for indlæggelse af centralvarme der siden er blevet til fjernvarme.
Kirkerummet er hvidkalket med al fresco dekorationer omkring vinduer og langs med loftskant, udført af kunstmaler Peter Holm, Hasselager.
Kirken havde i en menneskealder ingen altertavle, men kun et trækors i apsis. I 1901 blev det imidlertid besluttet, at der skulle opsættes en rigtig altertavle. En gave på 800 kroner fra gårdejer Laurs Dam, Bjertrup, har formodentlig givet stødet til beslutningen.
Nu til Cachen.
Når du står på koordinatet har du kirken på den ene side, og forsamlingshuset på den anden.
Du skal nu tælle alle de store sten der grænser op til kirken og præstegården = AB
Ved indkørslen til kirke og præstegård står der et skilt med nogle bogstaver,
antallet af bogstaver delt med 11 = C
På samme skilt er der også et tal, dette = DE

Bering church is a congregation.
Congregation is the name you use when a group of church members forming a particular congregation.
Election Churches within the national church and must itself be approved by the church minister. The requirement for acceptance is that at least 50 persons entitled to vote for the ward, sign the application, and that a person who is qualified as a priest in church, declaring that he wants to become a priest appointed congregation. Options congregation will meet all costs including compensation of the pastor, but members pay in return not church. Options churches opposed to independent congregations under the supervision of the bishop and dean.
Community begins in the church and continues metaphorically speaking in the assembly hall, here so clearly expressed by the two buildings on either side of the "Bering Strait" as two sides of the same coin.
The place where the church was erected was originally named after the village of Mark Bering Bering, just south of Skanderborgvej between Hasselager and Hørning. And therefore came election congregation to congregation called Bering
Bering Kirkeby, as it became, has now grown entirely with residential neighborhoods in Kolt, but still account in the landscape with church, cemetery, rectory and hall and jordtilliggende around. 10 acres of land as a quiet and pretty full on Torshøjvænget with one foot in urban and rural areas in second in the southwestern part of the Municipality of Aarhus.
From the very beginning is the location chosen very centrally road possibilities of his time rail and road, now with a very short distance to the motorway network by Århus Southwest.
Bering church was consecrated the second Whitsunday 1876, 5 June. It was named Peter, the Church, or St. Petersburg. Peter's Church, a name which for obvious reasons in Pentecost as the Christian church's birth and the apostle Peter as the rock church was built.
The church is typical of time with his sober, nyromanske style forms, designed by architect William Puck, chicago, who also was in charge of its construction, and further in subsequent years made its mark on the region's church building with churches in Sønder Galten and big ring in the same style also served as a model for the construction of Holme Church.
The church is unit build in red brick on a plinth of two switches granite. The roof is thatched with slate. The building consists of chancel with two windows, ship with eight windows and a tower of eight shared spire, originally rounded by eight decorative dormers, which has since been removed. Tower completed in one eight since uppers with arched glam holes. The lower part of the tower serves as a porch.
Inside the church with gallery west, flat wooden ceiling in the choir and a vaulted wooden ceiling of the ship that is reminiscent of the Norse Valhalla.
The church stands today with very few changes from its construction. Font originally stood in the middle of the floor in front of the arch, but was moved to the left side of the ship, when the old big stove with chimney in the ship north eastern part was removed in favor of admission of central heating which has since become the district.
The sanctuary is whitewashed with al fresco decorations around windows and along the ceiling edge, executed by artist Peter Holm, Hasselager.
Church had in a lifetime no altarpiece, but only a wooden cross in the apse. In 1901 it was decided that there was erected a great altarpiece. A gift of 800 Dkr. from farm owner Laurs Dam Bjertrup, has probably given impetus to the decision.
Now to the cache.
When standing on the coordinate you have church on one side and the village hall on the other.
You now need to count all the large rocks in front of the church and parsonage = AB
It stands at the entrance to the church and rectory stands a sign with some letters
number of letters divided by 11 = C
At the same plate is also a number this number = DE
