Serbia 2026

SERBIA 2026

A missions trip for high school students

This summer from July 16 to 28, students from Parkside Church Westside's high school ministry will travel to Serbia. We will partner with a missions organization called Josiah Venture, as well as the students of a local evangelical Serbian church, to host a week-long, English-language camp for unbelieving young people in the community. Most importantly, we will share the Gospel with camp participants, in a country where it is estimated that less than 1% of young people know the Lord Jesus.

You can support the Parkside Westside team by praying and making a financial contribution. The total trip cost for the team of 12 leaders and students is $32,400. Gifts for this trip are tax-deductible, and all gifts will go toward the full team cost, rather than a particular participant. If you would like to give, please use the link below and you will be directed to a separate page where you can submit your gift. Checks can be mailed to 16511 Hilliard Rd, Lakewood, OH 44107. If you are giving via check please include "Serbia Trip" in the memo line, and optionally include the name(s) of the student(s) from whom you received a support letter.
