Jason & Caroline Hitte

Jason Hitte Sr. is the founder and Lead Pastor of Lakeside Church in Central Florida. Following his ten years of service as a dedicated law enforcement officer, God called Pastor Jason and his wife Caroline, to help people learn the truth of His Word and walk in the freedom that is made available to us through Jesus. Beginning as a new church plant with a handful of families, Lakeside has since experienced remarkable growth and is now one of the most thriving multicultural and multigenerational churches in the Greater Orlando area.

Lakeside launched its second campus, as well as its online campus in 2020. In 2023, Outreach Magazine named Lakeside the 6th fastest-growing church in the nation, with over 4,000 people engaging in our weekly services. To extend the reach of 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 nine counties throughout Central Florida. 

Pastor Jason graduated from Southeastern University in 2007, receiving his Bachelor of Science in Pastoral Leadership. He and Caroline have been married since 1995; together they have three children and seven grandchildren. They share a heart for people; loving them where they are and leading them into an authentic relationship with Jesus.
