Definition: LVC (Life, Love, Community) - Jesus' parable of the good Samaritan, illustrating the importance of loving others in return. The LVC model emphasizes: 1. Life: Being a disciple of God's will and purpose, serving others with compassion, love, and respect. 2. Love: Experiencing the joy of giving, receiving, helping, and being loved through acts of kindness and generosity. 3. Community: Building and maintaining relationships that are strong and inclusive, building an environment where everyone can feel welcome and valued. The LVC concept helps us understand what it means to follow Jesus Christ as we seek to live out His love and values in our lives.
