In addition to asking PMBC to pray for Buice and his family, the elders said that they “grieve for the harm caused to the body of Christ and to those faithful ministers who were targeted,” and they are committed “to walk in the light, to speak the truth in love, and to labor together for the building up of Christ’s church in holiness and unity.”
The statement also shared that Buice resigned as the president of G3 Ministries after a few of the ministry’s board members encouraged him to do so.

Buck expressed on social media that the past week “has been one of the most painful and difficult times in [his] entire ministry.”

Before encouraging others to pray for Buice, Buice’s family, PMBC, and those affected by Buice’s sin, Buck shared that this was a “great reminder” for him to “keep a close watch on myself (1 Tim 4:16), to take heed lest I too fall (1 Cor 10:12), and to not deceive myself by thinking I am something (Gal 6:3).”
Scott Aniol, who is a PMBC non-vocational elder, executive vice president and editor-in-chief of G3 Ministries, and professor of pastoral theology at Grace Bible Theological Seminary, posted, “I cannot express how grieved I am about this.
