Prominent evangelical teaching and preaching ministry G3 is shutting down their G3 Church Network “effective immediately,” according to a brief email they sent to network church partners that was obtained by Protestia.
Dear pastors,
Most of you have heard the recent controversy. A statement was posted this morning here.
We are dissolving the G3 Church Network effective immediately. All who have recurring dues set up through Stripe will have those canceled by the end of the week.
We are sorry for any pain we have caused you.
The G3 Church Network is a “global fellowship of Reformed Baptist churches committed to sound doctrine, expository preaching, and the sovereignty of God in all things.”
With a minimal financial commitment of $500/year, and over 100 churches in the Network in the US alone, it aimed to be a “ministry connection point for pastors and local churches.”
The move comes on the heels of another letter sent this morning by G3 to Tom Buck of First Baptist Church Lindale, apologizing for the anonymous distribution of damaging allegations against him.
The letter was signed by Scott Aniol, Jon Norton, Dylan Joyner, and Matt Sikes- now ‘former; pastors of PMBC, a prominent Reformed church in Douglasville, GA, known for their teaching ministry and association with G3 ministries- who resigned last Friday from the church.
Protestia publisher David Morrill has criticized the curt message and the lack of communication and meaningful interaction towards both Tom Buck and partner churches and supporters, given the deep influence, trust, financial support, and longstanding relationships G3 has built with pastors and churches over nearly 15 years.
