Get To Know Mr. Rivard
Pierre-Luc began his career as an officer in the Canadian Army, a period during which he became a Christian and embarked on his faith journey. As his career advanced, so too did his spiritual growth, allowing him to integrate his understanding of education, government and non-governmental organizations, international relations, and Christian ministry into a life of service to the Kingdom of God.
With both he and his wife serving in the military, settling down took time, and together they traveled the world, gaining rich life experiences along the way. From the tropical climates of the Pacific Islands to the deserts of the Middle East, Pierre-Luc held a variety of roles, including administrative and teaching positions spanning preschool to university. During this time, he learned multiple languages, including French, English, Spanish, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, which he employed in missionary work. Known as Pierre to English speakers, Pierre-Luc to French speakers, and Abdullah to Arabic speakers, he embraced opportunities to share the Gospel across cultures and continents.
Pierre-Luc rejoices in the opportunity to teach at PCA, where he can draw on his background in education and divinity to serve students. His prayer is to make a meaningful impact on the students, staff, and families of PCA, both academically and spiritually.
Why do you love working at PCA?
I love working in a Christian school, since we can build on the foundation of Christ and truly get to the heart of why education matters. The ultimate truth is found in Christ, who holds the world together and gave his life to save those who would believe in Him.
Favorite Scripture:
John 12:35-36: “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light”.
