Student Linkup relationally links students to churches. Churches registered with the Student Linkup Service are required to receive communication from both students and Fusion. As part of our ongoing commitment to see students find hope in Jesus and home in the local church, we regularly review the terms and conditions for service users. Fusion reserves the right to remove a church profile at any time.
“Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta. The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.” Acts 28:1-2

In a university location, and
Actively seeking to work with students, or
Already engaged in student ministry, or

“What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.” 2 Timothy 1:13-14
Churches will not be eligible for Student Linkup if they:
Teach or promote theology that contradicts the Evangelical Alliance Basis of Faith. As an organisation, Fusion operates in alignment with the statements contained within the Evangelical Alliance Basis of Faith and Affirmations on Sexuality. By being part of Student Linkup, churches confirm that their teaching is not contrary to the statements in these documents.
Promote universalism or other doctrines that are incompatible with this basis of faith.
“Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counsellors there is safety.” Proverbs 11:14
Churches may be removed from Student Linkup if there is:
Persistent lack of response from church leadership.
No identifiable or contactable leader responsible for students.
“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” Ephesians 4:3-6
Churches that actively undermine local church unity or operate in ways that damage relationships between churches will be removed. This aligns with Fusion’s commitment to collaboration and partnership across the local church.
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute.” Proverbs 31:8
Churches that have been proven to have had major safeguarding failures will be excluded. Churches under active investigation may be suspended at the discretion of Fusion. This aligns with Fusion’s commitment to excellent safeguarding practices.
