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 November 3, 2024, Rev. Nathan Gladish gave a sermon for the Ten Commandments series on the Third Commandment. Of the sermon, he said:
"It is heartwarming to picture a whole group of good-willed people in the Pacific Northwest focusing on learning and applying to life the lessons of the Ten Commandments. Thank you, everyone! I especially find it useful to think about how each commandment is an expression of the Lord’s compassion towards us all.
Let’s explore together the third commandment: “Remember the sabbath to keep it holy…” In explaining the internal sense, Swedenborg writes, “’Remembering,’ when attributed to the Lord, means having compassion, and so preserving or delivering, out of mercy.” Secrets of Heaven §9849"

“Charity is like warmth in springtime or summer that causes grass, plants, and trees to grow. Without charity, or spiritual warmth, nothing grows.”
~ Secrets of Heaven 1016, Emanuel Swedenborg
