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 4th May 2025 is Holy Communion at 9:30 AM at St Augustine’s.

The readings for the Third Sunday of Easter are Acts 9:1 – 20; Psalm 30; Revelation 5:11 – end. John 21:1 – 19.

What do you do when everything about you has fallen apart? The disciples, in today’s Gospel passage, have already seen the resurrected Jesus, but have not yet worked out the implications for themselves and the world. Everything they thought would follow from Jesus’ ministry on Earth has failed. So they go back to their original occupations as fishermen and try to rebuild their lives. They have a bad night and catch nothing. But Jesus stands on the shore and tells them to try again, and their nets are suddenly full to bursting. On shore, Jesus has already prepared breakfast, and he then restores Peter, at least in Peter’s own eyes. Three times Peter disowned him. Three times Jesus tells him to tend Jesus’ flock (the church) and finally to follow him. What about us? Are we prepared to follow Jesus wherever he might lead, or will we revert to the comfort zone of what we did before meeting him?
