Slovak Evangelical Church in Šid in Vojvodina, Serbia is a Lutheran church built in 1910.[1] Over the years, it was the main church for the Lutheran Christians with other churches in the town being either Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic or Greek Catholic.[2] The church and its parish played a prominent role during the time of immigration of Slovaks to town in mid XIX century where it helped them in maintaining their spiritual and national identity.[3] Before the establishment of the local Slovak parish in 1897, the local community was a part of the nearby Bingula parish.[3] Later on, Šid church was a main church for up to 24 other associated communities in the regions Syrmia, Semberia and Slavonia including in Bosut, Jamena, Komletinci, Bijeljina, Vašica, Sot and Višnjićevo.[3] It is not known when and from whom exactly the plot for the new built was purchased with some data indicating it belonged to the local Jewish community.[3] The church building was built during 1909 and 1910 and was consecrated in August 1910.[3]
