With the elements against them in the second half, they were unable to hold on to that lead.
Grant Britton, who scored Avonmouth's first-half try, got a second after the break.
That was converted by Wearne, who added a penalty to move his side within two points.
James Foss then crossed for a try, also converted by Wearne, to put Avonmouth ahead for the first time at 22-17.
Barum were given new hope when they regained the lead through a breakaway try from Brock, converted by Berry.
But Wearne, who played for his home-town team from 2009 to 2011 before joining Avonmouth, condemned them to a third successive away defeat.
