Every story here started the same way every Trinity engagement does — with a conversation, not a pitch. Here’s what came out of a few of them.
Eastern Star Church was turned down five times for a $20 million third campus, despite financials stronger than 97% of the commercial book and the ability to cash flow new debt three times over. The church was putting $7 million down and had raised nearly $7 million through a capital campaign. They were declined for being a church, not on the merits. Trinity’s relationship with Eastern Star has continued into land development: roughly 35 single-family homes, 25 new apartments, and a 300-plus-unit acquisition now being fully renovated.
Jeffrey A. Johnson Sr., Senior Pastor of Eastern Star Church, credits David with incorporating spiritual principles and sound wisdom into the financing process — expertise that let the church plan future expansions with confidence.
A Philadelphia church holding valuable downtown land had offers from a university and a hospital, but chose a different path — bringing in 120 units of senior housing instead. When the developer’s first offer came in, David spent two hours on the analysis and rewrote the church’s counter. The developer accepted 24 hours later, at double the original deal.
A church set on a $12–13 million ground-up build was advised to wait. It’s now considering a 33,000-square-foot former Catholic church at $2.5 million instead.
A version of the same recommendation shows up again and again across Trinity’s testimonials: pastors encouraging other church leaders considering a facility expansion or a loan refinance to talk with David Pack. Clients describe the experience with words like wise counsel, persistence, fantastic deal, and expertise and insights — and consistently describe feeling like someone finally listened to and understood their vision and needs.
Trinity’s YouTube channel includes more than 20 video testimonials, including extended interviews with Shiloh Temple in Cleveland and Dr. Freddie Haynes of Friendship West in Dallas.
While the large majority of Trinity’s work is with churches, the firm has also helped privately held businesses with acquisition, real estate, and expansion financing — including Champion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, where long-term loan structuring and rates have produced real savings across a decade of working together, and Meyer Foods, which grew from four to six Culver’s locations with the right financing in place.
