Our Story
Truth Matters Ministries began in 2001 with a mission to help the next generation see and experience the truth of Jesus Christ. In 2002, Truth Matters Ministries partnered with the Evangelical Free Church of Lethbridge, and for the next 11 years, Sid Koop worked with both organizations. In 2013, after a year of communal discernment, prayer and at the recommendation of the board, Sid Koop went full time with Truth Matters and moved the base of operations to Kelowna, BC, taking over the Canadian Youth Workers Conference with the goal of empowering youth workers across Canada to help the next generation know Jesus. In 2018, we created Youth Worker Community as the primary strategy for fulfilling this mission. That’s because, next to parents, youth workers are best positioned to help students know Jesus.
