Richard and Lindsay Baham
Richard and Lindsay have been serving with Angelo State Chi Alpha since November of 2019 (which is also the month and year that they got married!) They have a toddler named Alice who you’ll see at campus events and large group services where she’s the life of the party.
Lindsay loves opening up her home as a place of safety and belonging where students can meet with the Holy Spirit and engage with God’s Word over a home cooked meal or a cup of coffee. Lindsay loves reading, baking/cooking, singing, hiking, and playing badminton.
Richard makes friends wherever he goes on campus. He believes strongly in discipling the “whole person” and desires to see students grow to look more like Jesus in every area of their lives. In his free time, Richard enjoys fixing/building things and playing guitar, board games, and baseball.
Lindsay and Richard both have bachelors degrees from Sam Houston State University - hers in Music Therapy and his in Physics. They have been a part of Chi Alpha since they were freshmen in college and are honored to give back to the ministry that shaped their walk with Jesus as adults.
Sidney Counts
Sidney joined the staff team at Angelo State Chi Alpha in August 2022 after graduating with a bachelors in Elementary Education from ASU.
Her journey with Chi Alpha began while she was still a student when she reconnected with her faith and gave her life back to the Lord. Over the next few years, she grew deeply in her relationship with God and started leading a small group in 2020.
During her time in Chi Alpha, she also met her husband, Alec, and together they share a home with their dog, Jess, their cat, Lily, and a little one on the way! Passionate about campus ministry, Sidney believes deeply in Chi Alpha’s mission, especially since nearly 70% of Christian students tend to walk away from their faith during college. Having experienced God in a transformative way through her friends in Chi Alpha, she is committed to helping other students rediscover their faith and walk in relationship with Christ. Her heart is dedicated to reconciling lost lambs back to the Lord and guiding them home during such a pivotal time in their lives.
Outside of ministry, Sidney loves grabbing a good cup of coffee with friends, hiking and camping with her husband, and exploring new foods from different cultures!
Sydney Bishop

Sydney’s favorite part of serving with Chi Alpha has been getting to open up her home to the students. Her main goal in ministry is to bring God His children back. She believes that by living as a loving, Christ-like friend we are able to show more and more of God’s character to those who don’t know the depth of His love for them.
She began as a student leader in 2022. After getting a bachelors in Economics at Angelo State, Sydney began serving as a full-time mission’s associate with Angelo State Chi Alpha.

Her favorite things to do include hosting, cooking, and baking.
