On May 13, the board of G3 Ministries (G3) released a new statement sharing that the ministry will now remove all of Dr. Josh Buice’s content from its platforms.
In an earlier statement, G3 board members had said that Buice’s content would “remain accessible via the G3 website and G3+.”
Buice, who is G3’s founder and former president, resigned last Thursday after elders at Pray’s Mill Baptist Church (PMBC), where Buice is pastor, discovered that Buice had been using multiple anonymous social media, email, and Substack accounts to attack church leaders, including PMBC elders.
PMBC elders shared in a statement on Monday that Buice admitted to having the accounts following a two-hour confrontation. Buice was then put on indefinite leave as pastor of PMBC.
Elders said that Buice “acknowledged his sin, expressed sorrow, and asked for forgiveness” and desired to make things right by “personally [asking] forgiveness of every person he has slandered or lied to.”
Addressing why they now feel they need to remove all of Buice’s content from their platforms, G3 board members said:
Due to the public and egregious nature of the sin, we believe Josh Buice has stained the mission and character of G3 Ministries. After further consideration and godly counsel, we have made the decision to remove all of Josh Buice’s content from every platform.
G3 explained its purpose is to “educate, encourage, and equip local church with sound biblical theology” and then said, “With sadness, yet in light of these recent events, we do not believe Josh’s content will help fulfill that purpose any longer.”
Board members also shared why they cancelled the upcoming conference that was scheduled to take place on Sept. 11 in Atlanta.
“We want to clarify the reason for canceling the conference,” G3 board members said. “While the conference and ministry could continue without Josh’s leadership, we chose to cancel this year’s event primarily because several of the scheduled speakers had been sinfully targeted by him through anonymous accounts.”
