Sammy D'Alecy
Campus Pastor
Sammy D’Alecy was born and raised in Michigan and through God working in her life she found herself finishing her college education at Penn State University. She graduated from Penn State in 2018 with a Bachelors of Arts in Anthropology.
Sammy grew up in the church and her faith was an essential part of her upbringing. From a young age she took ownership of her faith and chose to be baptized in 2004. After her freshman year of high school her family moved south to Kentucky for two years and Tennessee for one. While living in the South she was baptized in the Holy Spirit and a completely new and exciting aspect of Christianity opened up to her. Throughout high school Sammy fell in love with history and soon found a passion for archaeology. Wanting to marry both her faith and her passions Sammy went to Lycoming College to pursue biblical archaeology. While there, however, she fell into the trap that most Christian college freshman find and became complacent in her walk with God. For the next two years a combination of events would break her down to the point where all she felt was shame and brokenness. After taking some time away from school, God led Sammy to apply to Penn State University. A month into her time at Penn State she connected with Victory Christian Fellowship. Within the first semester of her time in VCF God had brought amazing restoration to her life. For the next two years she served as a student officer for VCF.
Today Sammy is responding to God’s call on her life and ministering through the same campus ministry that was there for her. She is excited to see hearts changed for the kingdom and revival ushered into Happy Valley, a place this Michigander now lovingly calls home.

Noah Repman
Campus Pastor
Noah grew up outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After graduating high school he earned a Bachelors of Science in Energy Engineering with a minor in Environmental Engineering at Penn State University. He is now pursuing a M.Div. with a Bible concentration from Global Awakening Theological Seminary.
As a child Noah was a regular at his family's church. He grew up learning about Bible stories and hearing scripture, but he never developed a relationship with Jesus. A foundation was laid for him but he never took the next step for himself. Eventually he took a step back from the church and focused on pursuing a perfect life. His focus turned to earning highest honors in academics, perfecting his stroke for the swim team, holding high ranking positions in various school functions , and achieving the rank of Eagle Scout. The catch was that for each accomplishment checked off of his list he became more and more empty because there was nothing left to work for. Eventually everything seemed in vain and he spiraled into exhaustion and depression. On the brink of ending his own life he had a radical encounter with the Lord that changed his life forever. This encounter was about a month before he started college. A fresh start in life was everything that Noah needed to solidify his relationship with God.
At Penn State Beaver, the satellite campus Noah attended, an established ministry in its infant stages fell into his lap. Being a brand new Christian he was charged with running a ministry. This proved to be one of the most formative times in his walk with the Lord. Noah learned that even though he did not have a deep theological background his obedience to God's call is all it took to see dramatic change in people's lives. Years later after growing in his faith with the help of strong leaders, a community of believers, and the ministry of VCF, God has called Noah to campus ministry. Noah is so excited to see redemption and life change for people who were caught in the same trap that he was caught in for so many years.
