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.

Tomorrow is the Third Sunday after Epiphany, and we will be celebrating the Conversion of Paul. There will be a Benefice Service of Holy Communion at St Augustine’s at 10 a.m. (please note the change of time) and the speaker will be Joey Chattaway, from the University of St Andrews, on the subject of assisted dying. We hope that you will be able to join us.

In the Gospel reading, St Matthew records Peter speaking to Jesus, explaining that he and the other disciples had given up everything to follow Him and asking what they could achieve by doing this.   Jesus replied that that those who gave up earthly possessions to follow Him would be seated with Him in heaven and, in life everlasting, would become members of God’s family.   But He cautioned them, saying that those who put earthly importance ahead of a belief in Him could not expect to inherit life eternal.     Followers of the Christian faith down the ages have tried to reflect in their daily lives the goodness and greatness of God and His Son.

The Bible readings are – Jeremiah 1: verses 4 to 10, Acts 9: verses 1 to 22 and Matthew 19: verse 27 to the end.   The appointed psalm is 67 – God be merciful to us and bless us – the psalmist calls upon the people to praise God for the mercy that He shows to them.
