We've got 18 coming into the Church at Easter; 10 are Christian converts, and 8 will be newly baptized.

Our new inquiry class, beginning right after Easter, already has 18 enrolled, and another ten who've indicated they'd like to attend but just haven't signed up.

Excellent news!!!

Are the un-baptised coming from non-Christian religions or are they just "nothings" at the moment?

8 is a good number for adult baptisms - are you doing anything specifically to reach out to the unbaptised?

How many people do you average in attendance on a Sunday?

Our Baptist Church has an average Sunday attendance of 1200 and we Baptise about 120 people a year.

Just trying to get a feel for relative comparisons.Their are a number of Baptist Churches our size that have more and many that have less.
