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 19 - July 23, 2025

Ten Commandment Series

This year we are trying something new. Each month, on the 1st Sunday, we will be holding a virtual worship service on one of the Ten Commandments. A monthly discussion group, children's program, and social hour will accompany those. Click here for more details.

Upcoming Worship Service

Our next worship service will be on Sunday, October 6th at 10:30 am PT with Rev. Elmo Acton - Topic: Second Commandment - Virtual only: Zoom Link 

Of the sermon, titled "You Shall Not Take the Name of the Lord Your God in Vain", he said:

"In the Word's earthly meaning this commandment tells us not to abuse the Lord's name in our dealings with others - don't mix His name into your lies, into your personal promises, to avoid responsibility, or just for no reason. There is so much more to this commandment when we think of it in deeper ways. This Sunday we will discuss the many ways following this commandment can help us in our personal lives and build a positive "New Church culture" around us. This is one of those commandments that is broken so openly with no thought of it, that it is likely we have become conditioned to barely acknowledge its negative impact. Let's talk about it and worship our Lord together. See you all soon!"

On September 1, 2024, Rev. Mark Pendleton gave a sermon for the Ten Commandments series on the First Commandment.  Of the sermon, he said:

"This week’s message will be on the first of those commandments, “You shall have no other gods before my faces.” What is this commandment talking about? There aren’t many of us today who have images or idols in our homes that we bow down to and worship. But who are the people, and what are some of the different things we can indeed “bow down to” in a day’s time – things that we think will bring us happiness, when really they don’t…and can’t? These are the “false gods“ that are referred to in this commandment. If we can notice and identify them, we are well on our way to getting out from under their spell.

One of the great beauties of this commandment is that when we live according to it – by not bowing down to false gods – we have the opportunity to come into the opposite forms of goodness, which are the “faces” of God – love, mercy, peace, and every form of goodness. Join us for worship on Sunday, and let’s talk about these things.
