Overview

Mission

Our mission is to educate, encourage, and equip christians while strengthening the local church through educational activities including, but not limited to, conferences and online resources.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, G3 Ministries published 18 new books through G3 Press, bringing the total catalogue to over 50 titles. The organization continued operating G3 Plus, its digital subscription platform, and expanded content to include over 500 audio books as well as teaching from the newly launched G3 Pastor-Theologian Collective, a fellowship of trusted pastor-teachers from local churches. The organization hosted one Expository Preaching Workshop and one Biblical Worship Workshop at local churches and maintained the G3 Church Network of 210 member churches. In May 2025, founder and president Josh Buice resigned and Dr. Scott Aniol was appointed president in July 2025. The planned September 2025 national conference was cancelled due to the leadership transition, and the organization shifted its conference model toward locally organized events and regional workshops. Vice President of Ministry Relations Virgil Walker departed to return to local church ministry. The organization separated Living Heritage Homeschool as an independent entity from G3 Ministries, and adopted a renewed vision and visual identity emphasizing publishing, pastor-theologian development, and local church support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 62% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
