Dr. Josh Buice, pastor of Pray’s Mill Baptist Church (PMBC) and founder of G3 Ministries, resigned as president of G3 Ministries after PMBC elders discovered Buice had been using multiple anonymous social media accounts to speak ill of Christian leaders, both publicly and privately.
In addition to his resignation, Buice has also been deemed “presently disqualified from serving as an elder” at PMBC. Buice is listed on the church’s website as one of six elders at PMBC. He serves as “the leader among equals, overseeing various ministries within the church and putting his main focus on the pulpit ministry—the weekly preaching of God’s Word.”
Buice has been serving at PMBC since 2010. In 2013, he started the G3 Conference, which led to the creation of G3 Ministries in 2020. G3 stands for “Gospel, Grace, and Glory.” Buice is also the assistant professor of preaching at Grace Bible Theological Seminary in Conway, Arkansas.
In a statement released by the PMBC, the elders shared that they “uncovered irrefutable evidence that Dr. Buice has, for the past three years, operated at least four anonymous social media accounts, two anonymous email addresses, and two Substack platforms.”
“These accounts were used to publicly and anonymously slander numerous Christian leaders, including faithful pastors (some of whom have spoken at G3 conferences), several PMBC elders, and others,” the statement continued. “These actions were not only sinful in nature but deeply divisive, causing unnecessary suspicion and strife within the body of Christ, and particularly within the eldership of PMBC.”
The elders explained that over the last couple of years, Buice was asked on multiple occasions if he was connected to any of these accounts but denied having anything to do with them. It was only after the elders presented “irrefutable evidence” to Buice that he eventually confessed.
“On Sunday evening, May 4, 2025, after clear and comprehensive evidence emerged linking the accounts directly to him, the elders of PMBC confronted Josh,” the statement read. “For two hours, he continued to deny his involvement. Only after further evidence was presented and much pleading with him to walk in the light did Josh finally confess to his actions.”

After admitting to being the one behind the accounts, Buice “acknowledged his sin, expressed sorrow, and asked for forgiveness.” Elders shared that Buice now desires to “personally ask forgiveness of every person he has slandered or lied to.”
Although Buice told the elders that he believes he is “presently disqualified” to serve as an elder at PMBC, the elders told the congregation that they “do not believe at this time that his sin is necessarily permanently disqualifying.” For the time being, the elders have placed Buice on “indefinite leave” from the church until they are “able to determine a more detailed path forward.”
The elders said that they “are committed to walking alongside Josh in a long process of biblical counseling and discipline, seeking genuine fruit in keeping with repentance.”
