Congregation Beth El was founded in 1982 by a group of Jewish families in Fort Bend County who wanted an alternative to driving into Houston to worship. The mission of Congregation Beth El is to build a community where the practice of Reform Judaism enriches and uplifts our lives with understanding, warmth, friendship and meaning. We provide a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all our members, who seek to create a close-knit community bonded together by the highest ideals of our faith.
Our members may be drawn to our Synagogue for various reasons – spiritual, social, educational and/or charitable – but whatever the reason, we seek to engage all our congregants through uplifting Shabbat and holiday services, a vibrant educational program for children, Scholars in Residence programs, community Passover seders and a host of other activities including offering opportunities for Tikkun Olam, repairing our world through acts of kindness. Our community is a place where the study of Torah and practice of Judaism leads to the performance of g’milut chasadim deeds of loving-kindness, for all of us. We believe in the service of supporting social change which is vital to a flourishing Jewish community and an inspired Jewish life.
It is our hope that by becoming a member of the Congregation Beth El family, you will find a spiritual home offering sanctuary from the stress of the outside world - a place to recharge your emotional and spiritual self through community, fellowship, music, meditation, and prayer.
