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.

On October 6, 2024, Rev. Elmo Acton gave a sermon for the Ten Commandments series on the Second Commandment. Of the sermon, 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."
