Josh Buice & G3 Ministries
- 348 views
In recent weeks, the elders of PMBC 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. 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.
Dr. Buice had been asked on multiple occasions over the past two years whether he had any connection to these anonymous accounts. In each case, he denied any knowledge of them. On Sunday evening, May 4, 2025, after clear and comprehensive evidence emerged linking the accounts directly to him, the elders of PMBC confronted Josh. 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. Since then, Josh has acknowledged his sin, expressed sorrow, and asked for forgiveness. His desire is to personally ask forgiveness of every person he has slandered or lied to. While Josh has acknowledged with the elders that he is presently disqualified from serving as an elder, we do not believe at this time that his sin is necessarily permanently disqualifying.
On May 8, after some members of the board encouraged Josh Buice to resign, the board received and unanimously accepted Josh Buice’s resignation as President of G3. The elders of PMBC have asked Josh to take an indefinite leave until the church is able to determine a more detailed path forward. The elders are committed to walking alongside Josh in a long process of biblical counseling and discipline, seeking genuine fruit in keeping with repentance.
We ask the church to join us in praying for Josh and his family. Pray that Josh’s sorrow would continue to lead to full and lasting repentance and that he would walk humbly before the Lord. We grieve for the harm caused to the body of Christ and to those faithful ministers who were targeted. We likewise reaffirm our commitment 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.
That explains why the G3 preaching workshop I was scheduled to attend was cancelled at the last minute.
Not surprising, since G3 Ministries led by Josh Buice built a large part of its ministry on slandering fellow Conservative Evangelicals in the SBC and the Gospel Coalition. Its been part of their DNA since its inception.
