The Anabaptist Disciples of Christ (ADC) emerged in 2016, primarily from congregations formerly part of the Beachy Amish. These congregations sought more autonomy in congregational decision-making. ADC encouraged careful use of media but, unlike the Beachy Amish, did not prohibit the use of radio. In 2023 ADC consisted of 22 congregations in 9 states.

ADC functioned to administer a network of autonomous congregations subscribing to a common statement of beliefs. Rather than operating as a governing body, ADC functioned to provide: (1) planning and administration of annual assemblies for pastoral fellowship, (2) pastoral networking for counsel and resources in local church leadership and administration, (3) inter-congregational collaboration in evangelization and missions and (4) pastoral training resources and events.

Anabaptist Disciples of Christ published a quarterly newsletter, The ADC Disciple. Nate Yoder served as editor in 2023.

ADC held its annual assembly on the fourth Friday and Saturday of January.
