Anabaptist Disciples of Christ
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 encourages careful use of media but, unlike the Beachy Amish, does not prohibit the use or radio. ADC consists of 18 congregations in 9 states.
ADC functions to administer a network of autonomous congregations subscribing to a common Statement of Beliefs. Rather than operating as a governing body, ADC functions 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.
ADC publishes a quarterly newsletter, The ADC Disciple. Nate Yoder serves as editor.
ADC holds its annual assembly on the fourth Friday and Saturday in January.
