Eastern Star Church
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.

Fervent Prayer Church
Fervent Prayer Church had great credit and strong cash flow — but its bank was still positioned to offer a bad deal. David’s persistence turned it around: a refinance that saved the ministry more than $300,000, with payoff now projected in under ten years.

Living Water Fellowship
Trinity has worked with Living Water Fellowship on two loan packages five years apart — first to purchase and renovate half of a facility, then to expand into the other half, alongside eight years of significant church growth.

A Philadelphia Congregation
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 in Texas
A church in Texas was preparing for a $12–13 million ground-up build. After a strategic review, it purchased an existing 30,000-square-foot church for around $2 million, with a substantial renovation budget.
