Our History

Our story began around 2007 when Congregation Bat Tzion grew out of a weekly Torah study in a home. Since then, many have come to our congregation to seek “a more excellent way” of following God through obedience to His Torah. In time, it became apparent that we would need a synagogue where we could gather on Shabbat and other Feasts. Over the course of several years, we shared buildings with two different Christian congregations in The Woodlands area who allowed us to use the facilities on Saturdays while they met there on Sundays.

In 2016, with the collective efforts of our congregants, we rented and built out our own facility at Hanna Rd. Business Park in Oak Ridge North. This was a significant milestone, a testament to the dedication and support of our members. It enabled us to arrange things as needed for Shabbat service and other functions with minimum weekly effort. In 2024, we moved to a new facility off Robinson Rd. in Oak Ridge North Commerce Park.

Through the years, our congregation has evolved in many ways to serve those who endeavor to walk the Messianic path. Our weekly Torah studies have enriched our understanding of Messiah Yeshua and His Kingdom. On Shabbats, we have been able to offer classes in Hebrew for reading God’s Word in its original language. Our yearly Feasts and Shabbat celebrations have been times of great joy.  Our music and dance teams seek to lead us in worship through songs of praise that are scriptural. They have incorporated Hebraic and Christian songs and dances, plus many original compositions from our members. Our children’s classes have enabled parents to instill in their children a knowledge of the Torah. 

To provide for our congregation members and reach out to others worldwide, we began a YouTube channel in 2012 to make our Shabbat services and weekly Torah Studies available. We also began live-streaming our services in 2020. Since the move to our current building, our live-streaming has been on hiatus.

We praise our Elohim, who has seen us through many things and continues to bless us. We are a people who have always endeavored to follow His direction for us and we look forward to what He will teach us and bring to us in this season and in the future of our community life.
