Biography
Buice has served as a pastor of Pray's Baptist Church in Douglasville, Georgia since August 2010. He has a B.S.B.A. from the University of West Georgia (2001) and has also earned M.Div and D.Min degrees from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. As of April 2023, Grace Bible Theological Seminary (GPTS) announced that Buice will begin serving as an assistant professor of preaching at the seminary.
G3 Ministries
Buice is the Founder and currently serves as the President of G3 Ministries. G3 began with the first G3 Conference (Gospel – Grace – Glory) in 2013, which was held on the campus of Pray's Mill Baptist Church in Douglasville, Georgia where Josh Buice serves as Pastor. As the conference grew, a 501(c)(3) organization was formed in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to become a ministry organization that hosts the G3 Conference biennially, along with other workshops and trainings, and to provide various theological multimedia resources for local churches.
Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel
In June 2018, Buice organized a meeting in Dallas, Texas with other conservative evangelicals to address the issue of a rising social justice movement among American Evangelicals. Buice and others claimed that those in that movement were mixing the Christian Gospel and the social gospel, which led to the drafting of the Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel (which is also referred to as "The Dallas Statement").
Tom Ascol was given the responsibility to write the original draft, which upon revision was signed first by the original summit attendees also including James White, John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, and others. Over ten thousand churches or individuals have since added their signatures on the website that was for the statement.
Exit from the Southern Baptist Convention
In January 2022, Buice announced that Pray's Mill Baptist Church was leaving the Southern Baptist Convention, claiming that leaders in the SBC were "behind the scenes" working on a "devious deconstruction plan" for the convention, and that the convention had largely shifted away from a theologically conservative denomination towards a more liberal-influenced one.
Personal life
Buice and his wife Kari Buice have four children and currently reside in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area.
