Cascadia New Church
Welcome to Cascadia New Church
Cascadia New Church invites you to connect with us for monthly Sunday worship and small group meetings throughout the year as a way to deepen our understanding and enrich our practice of loving the Lord our God and loving our neighbors. Although we are spread throughout the Pacific Northwest region of the US--in Washington and Oregon states, and the southern part of British Colombia--we are connected by a faith that is deeply spiritual and yet practical in daily living.
We meet virtually via Zoom and with in-person gatherings in Vancouver, B.C., Seattle, WA, and Portland, OR. We hope you join us for worship and connection. We are looking forward to gathering in person for an all-region retreat, July 12 - July 16, 2024.
To find out more or to receive our newsletter, please contact us.
Upcoming Worship Service
Our next worship service, "Raising Lazarus" will be on Sunday, May 12th at 10:30 am PT with Rev. Jim Cooper: In-person service hosted in Vancouver, B.C. & virtual: Zoom Link
Of the sermon, Rev. Cooper said:
"The subject of the Children's Talk will be "Raising Lazarus." Throughout His public ministry the Lord had been gradually doing greater and greater miracles to demonstrate His power. Allowing His friend Lazarus to die, and then raising him from the dead was the final miracle before His crucifixion, and was intended to prepare His followers for what was to come.
The Sermon looks at the question of what we ourselves should be doing to get ready for when the Lord raises each one of us to eternal life. In two different places in the gospels people ask the Lord the simple question, "what do I need to do to get to heaven?" By looking at the Lord's answers, we can draw out four simple steps that we can use to guide our lives in this world."

On April 14, 2024, Rev. Mark Pendleton gave a sermon on "How Would You Summarize Your Experience of Life?" Of the sermon, he said:
"If you were asked—right now, today—to summarize your experience of life so far, how would you answer? What would you say? What words would you use? How would you describe your life in overview fashion? What has your overall experience of life been? And how will you summarize it in your final days and months here on earth? We read in the Scriptures and in the theology of the New Church that the Lord cares about us more than we can possibly know, that He is in charge of everything that happens, that He sees to it that everything in our lives works out in the end, that he controls all the bad stuff in life, and that because of these things we are fully safe in Him. But are these things really true?"
