ESTATE PLANNING SERVICES
To support the Lancer community in planning for the future, Orange Lutheran proudly partners with Financial Planning Ministry (FPM) to offer comprehensive estate planning services—at no cost to you. Through this partnership, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing your wishes are clearly outlined while also having the opportunity to include OLu in your legacy.
Join one of our estate planning workshops, held regularly on campus. In these informative sessions, you’ll learn how to create or update a legally valid plan reflecting your intentions for family, loved ones, and assets. After the workshop, you’ll receive personalized, one-on-one guidance from an FPM expert, who will walk you through finalizing your notarized estate plan.
Orange Lutheran covers the full cost of the workshop and planning services as part of our commitment to biblical stewardship and responsible financial planning.
