MEET THE TEAM
As a team we have more than a decade of experience in church based student ministry and are passionate about seeing churches thrive in this area
CHRISTA LYTH
FUSION SCOTLAND LEADER
Christa started Fusion Scotland in 2018 having previously been a church based student worker for 7 years. She has a heart to see student ministry across Scotland thrive so that each generation of students is given the opportunity to find hope in Jesus and home in the local church. Having personally experienced the difference it makes when churches invest in students, she believes that as we do this lives and communities will be transformed, both now and in the future. Christa loves encouraging and connecting with church leaders, student workers and students in settings large and small.
BARNABY SIMPKIN
STUDENT MISSION DEVELOPER
AND OPERATIONS
Scottish born and bred, he has been around the Scottish Christian scene as long as he can remember. Barnaby has a dual role as both a student mission developer and as our administration wizard and makes sure everything in the background is running smoothly. Having recently graduated himself, Barnaby brings insight and understanding of our current generation of students which sharpens all we do. Alongside Fusion Scotland, he is a church based student worker and recently completed studying Kingdom Theology and Student Ministry at WTC.
ALICE BATES
STUDENT MISSION DEVELOPER
Alice moved to Glasgow in 2020 and quickly fell in love with the city and with Scotland. She has spent the past four years studying theology at the University of Glasgow and has loved the opportunities it’s brought to talk about Jesus with those around her. A key part of her role is helping churches reach students who don't yet know Jesus.
