Coach Denny Duron

Denny Duron is a pastor, coach, entrepreneur, inventor, educator, author, composer, producer, communicator, motivator, and student of God’s Word.   

Pastor Denny’s ministry actually began on the football field as a player at LA Tech University.  As a quarterback in the seasons of 1972 and 1973, Denny led the Bulldogs to two national championships and a 24-1 record.  He was twice named all-Southland Conference first-team quarterback and in 1973 was chosen as the Southland Conference Most Valuable Offensive Player. In 2017 he was inducted into the Louisiana Tech Football Hall of Fame.

In addition to his honorable mention All-American recognition his senior season, he was drafted in the second round by the Birmingham Americans of the new “World Football League.”  Denny played two years at Birmingham and then signed with the Washington Redskins in 1976.  It was there, in training camp, that he first heard the call of God to take his life in a different direction.  The Washington Star carried the headline the next day “Even Redskins no match for the call of God.”

Denny also began the Evangel Christian Academy football program at Shreveport, Louisiana that has achieved national prominence.  He served as head coach for 6 years and offensive coordinator for 14.  During that time “Coach Duron” coached numerous all Americans, while at the same time virtually re-writing the national offensive record books for yardage, touchdowns, and points scored.  Evangel Christian Academy was named by USA Today as one of the top 8 High School springboards to the NFL.

Coach, Pastor Denny now serves as Chancellor of  Evangel Christian Academy and head coach of the ECA Eagles along with his pastoral duties.  

Denny is the senior pastor of Shreveport Community Church in Shreveport, Louisiana.  He is married to DeAnza and they have seven children, 16  grandchildren, and more on the way!
