Impact evidence

Programs described in its return (1)
- $813,443 spent. 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.
