G3 Church Network Dissolves Following Leadership Controversy

The G3 Church Network has reportedly ceased operations following a series of internal controversies and leadership disputes. According to reports citing an email sent to network partners, the organization is dissolving immediately, with all recurring dues scheduled for cancellation. While the network’s official website had not confirmed the closure as of Tuesday afternoon, G3 Ministries announced on social media that it would deactivate its X account, and its Facebook and Instagram pages appeared to have been removed.

The dissolution follows allegations of sermon plagiarism leveled against Pastor Tom Buck, a frequent contributor to G3 Ministries. These claims were linked to an anonymous letter traced back to Pray’s Mill Baptist Church in Georgia, an institution with ties to the network. In response, four pastors from Pray’s Mill issued a formal apology to the elders of First Baptist Church of Lindale, Texas, where Buck serves as senior pastor. The letter expressed regret for interfering in the local church's disciplinary processes and for making judgments without full knowledge of the situation.

Founded in 2013, the G3 Church Network functioned as a fellowship of Reformed Baptist churches focused on expository preaching and sound doctrine. At its peak, the network included over 100 affiliated congregations globally, each committed to specific standards of church governance and orthodoxy.
