Garaywa is a year-round retreat center and summer camp ministry located in Clinton Mississippi. It is owned and operated by the Woman’s Missionary Union of Mississippi. Garaywa provides quality Christian service and facilities for all ages. Only a few minutes from Jackson and in the city limits of Clinton, Garaywa is truly a retreat in the middle of the suburbs. When you enter the gates of Garaywa and hear the wind whistling through the moss-laden trees, you know you are in the presence of God’s beautiful creation.

In order to find your way, it is helpful to understand how the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board is set up to do their work. The responsibilities of the Convention Board fall into three natural divisions. One division is Business Services – the funds that are received and distributed to Kingdom causes are handled following Biblical guidelines of Christian stewardship and absolute fiscal responsibility. The second division, Church Growth, oversees those areas of church ministries that strengthen, equip, and enable the church and its functions. The third division, Mission Strategy, is entrusted with the responsibility of the work beyond just the walls and doors of the church. Our mission is to reach the world across Mississippi, the nation, and the uttermost parts of the earth.
