“During my tenure as President of the Church Extension Fund at the annual DILA Conference, I had the privilege of working alongside Gerald Kirk. Gerald exemplifies professionalism and positivity in every interaction. His deep expertise in lending—shaped by experience in both the commercial sector and the church extension fund environment—is evident to anyone who engages with him. If your fund is seeking to elevate its lending processes and policies, I highly recommend Gerald as a trusted and knowledgeable partner.”

“Working with Gerald throughout our loan process to build a new school was an exceptional experience. Gerald consistently demonstrated wise, steady leadership and an ability to bring clarity to a challenging situation. He guided our team with professionalism, transparency, and genuine care, fostering collaboration at every step. His strategic insight and ability to translate big-picture goals into actionable pathways were invaluable. I have every confidence that Gerald will bring the same integrity, vision, and measurable impact to the clients he serves through GSK Strategic Partners, LLC.”
