Our Team

Debbie Maund
FOUNDER + V4W CHAPLAIN

Army Combat Veteran, Debbie, completed her Masters of Divinity in 2013 and began to serve as an Army Reserve Battalion Chaplain. She has served as the Deputy Division Chaplain for the 104th Training Division and currently serves as a Family Life Chaplain for the 88th Readiness Division.

On April 23, 2016, Debbie felt called to start Veterans For Worship. Her work as an Army Reserve Chaplain helped her to see that when veterans and the military left the military, they would lose a chaplain in their life and may not connect to a local faith community. God’s vision for Veterans For Worship would provide chaplain support during patriotic holidays (Worship), veteran stand down events (Outreach), and provide a veteran consultant to churches and businesses (Network). Debbie, and her husband Bob, live in Washington State.
