Welcome to the website of St Augustine’s – the Church of England in Kirkby-in-Cleveland and Great Broughton.  The inhabitants of our two villages have professed their Christian faith, and have worshipped on this site, for over a thousand years and we continue this wonderful tradition.

We are part of a four-church benefice, which includes the Parishes of Ingleby Greenhow, Kildale and Chop Gate, in the Diocese of York.

You will find information on the team, on the services in our church and on our support for all in the community at the key points in their lives, by scrolling through the following pages.  The calendar of services and the notice pages, which are regularly up-dated, are a good first point of reference.

The service on Sunday, 15th February 2026 is Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St. Augustine’s.

On Wednesday 18th February at 10 a.m. there will be a Holy Communion service at St Augustine’s with the imposition of ashes.

The readings for the Sunday next before Lent are: Exodus 24:12-end; Psalm 2 or Psalm 99; 2 Peter 1:16-end; Matthew 17:1-9.

The passages in today’s readings all relate to the Transfiguration of Jesus. In the reading from 2 Peter, Peter, describes the event from an eyewitness viewpoint. It is anticipated in the reading from Exodus, as Moses enters the cloud of the glory of the Lord on Mount Sinai. And the transfiguration is described in this passage from Matthew, where Moses and Elijah are present, representing the law and the prophetic traditions of Israel’s past. Jesus is affirmed in the transfiguration as the Son of God. The disciples, Peter, James, and John, are terrified. The Son of God reaches out and reassures them. We, too, can feel that God’s glory and holiness are too much for us to bear; Jesus reaches out to us as well, telling us not to be afraid.
