The number of Native converts to Christianity grew significantly during the colonial period, particularly in the 17th and 18th centuries. Estimates suggest that by the late 1700s, hundreds of thousands of Native Americans had converted to various Christian denominations, although the exact numbers varied by region and denomination. Missionary efforts, particularly by the Spanish, French, and English, played a crucial role in this growth, often blending indigenous beliefs with Christian teachings. However, conversion rates and the depth of faith varied widely among different tribes and communities.

At Mission Santa Barbara, the native converts grew significantly over the years, with the mission reporting around 1,000 native converts by the early 1800s. This growth reflected the broader trend of mission activity in California, where thousands of Indigenous people were baptized and integrated into mission life. However, this conversion often came with challenges, including cultural disruption and disease, which impacted native populations. Overall, Mission Santa Barbara played a key role in the Spanish mission system's efforts to convert and assimilate Indigenous peoples.
