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 January 5, 2025, Rev. Mark Pendleton gave a sermon title "You Shall Not Murder/Want what Good for Your Neighbor." Of the sermon, Rev. Pendleton said:
Of the sermon, Rev. Pendleton said:
This Sunday we will continue our 10 Commandments series, picking up on the 5th commandment – "You Shall Not Murder." In this commandment we shift from the first tablet of the 10 Commandments to the second tablet. In the first tablet we focused on four commandments about loving God. In the second tablet we will now discover exactly how to love God – by following the remaining commandments and loving our neighbor. The Lord loves all people, and more than anything else, He wants them to be benefited and happy. The commandments in the second tablet tell us clearly, succinctly, and simply how to do that. The 5th commandment in particular will guide us to avoid forms of anger, resentment, hate, and revenge, and instead to, "Turn to heaven, cross over to the side of heaven, enter the life of heaven, and love heaven," which means living a life of love, compassion, and forgiveness. Below is a set of inspirational readings. See you this Sunday.
