G3 Ministries

G3 Ministries (or G3) was a 501(c)(3) organization and a Reformed Baptist ministry in the United States. The ministry was formally formed in 2019-2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic as a nonprofit organization, and it was most widely known for hosting the G3 Conference (Gospel – Grace – Glory) that began in 2013. The ministry's goal was to educate, encourage, and equip local churches with sound biblical theology. The founder and first president of the organization was Josh Buice. Scott Aniol became the final president of the ministry on July 14, 2025, and served until the ministry announced that it was closing on August 26, 2026. The G3 Conference held its first conference in 2013 in Douglasville, Georgia on the campus of Pray's Mill Baptist Church (PMBC), where the Founder and current President Josh Buice has served as Pastor since 2010. The conference originally was held on an annual basis with several hundreds of attendees, but has since grown in conference attendance numbers to have several thousands of attendees. Since the formation of G3 Ministries in 2020, the conference transitioned to being held biennially (i.e. once every two years), in addition to occasional regional conferences (which cover a specific topic and have smaller audiences). The national conferences grew to become one of the largest evangelical Christian conferences (and the largest Reformed Baptist conference) in the United States and globally. The conference has featured multiple notable figures in Christianity as conference speakers, including John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, James White, Ken Ham, and Steven Lawson. As of May 2025, following the resignation of Josh Buice, and in response to concerns with "celebrity Christianity", G3 began shifting away from large national conferences and will instead be helping local churches organize local conferences (similar to the previously held regional conferences). G3 Ministries had operated G3 Press since its founding in 2020, and has released book publications on theological, doctrinal, and other Christian-related topics. It began publishing Gloria Deo Journal of Theology in 2022. G3 Ministries also operated a network of Reformed Baptist churches known as the G3 Church Network, which had included a number of churches who have left the Southern Baptist Convention following the exit of PMBC, which was pastored by G3's founder and former president Josh Buice.
