About The Lakeside Church
The Lakeside Church is a nondenominational congregation in Oakland, Florida, on the west side of the Orlando metro, led by senior pastor Jason Hitte Sr. It entered our research pool through national fastest-growing church reporting, and it claims the final spot on the 2026 index, edging out churches with far larger names.
Lakeside's combined audience is 32,285 followers, the smallest total reach on the list. The mix is unusually balanced: 11,200 YouTube subscribers, 11,485 Instagram followers, and 9,600 on Facebook. The YouTube channel grew 25 percent over the past year and published as recently as June 9, the kind of weekly consistency most churches its size never sustain.
The 46.1 Influence Score is built on momentum and discipline rather than scale. A 58.4 velocity score puts Lakeside ahead of half the index in growth, and an 82.5 breadth score reflects three platforms kept active at once. The takeaway for every small church watching this list: the door is open. Lakeside got here with five figures of followers and a publishing habit.
