Jason Hitte

Pastor Jason and his wife, Caroline, founded Lakeside church in November of 2007. Beginning as a new church plant with a handful of families, Lakeside Church has now become one of the fastest growing, multi-cultural, multi-generational, churches in the Greater Orlando area. Lakeside launched its second campus, as well as its online campus in 2020, and began construction for a new broadcast campus in 2021. To continue to expand the gospel, Pastor Jason’s dynamic messages of grace and truth are featured on a local Christian broadcasting network that serves 3.8 million people in 9 counties throughout Central Florida. Pastor Jason has a genuine heart for people, loving them where they are, and leading them into an authentic relationship with Jesus. His driving passion is to help people learn the truth of God’s word and walk in the freedom that is made available to us through Jesus. Pastor Jason and Caroline have been married for 26 years; together they have three children and six grandchildren.
