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, 8th March 2026, is Holy Communion at St. Andrew’s, Ingleby Greenhow, at 9:30 a.m.

On Thursday, 12th March 2026, at 10:00 a.m., the Holy Communion service continues our series of Lent Talks. The speaker will be Venerable Dr Amanda Bloor, Archdeacon of Cleveland. Her title is ‘What are bishops for?’, and the reading is 1 Timothy 3: 1-12.

The readings for the Third Sunday of Lent are Exodus 17:1-17; Psalm 95; Romans 5:1-11; John 4:5-42.

In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman. The Samaritans were not regarded as Jews, and relations were rather hostile. The Samaritan woman, after her initial scepticism as to Jesus’ ability to draw water for himself, believes that he is the Messiah. When the disciples return, he tells them that the sower and the reaper will rejoice together. Jesus has sown the Word of God in Samaria. In the book of Acts (8:4-8), his disciples will preach the Gospel there and be received with great joy. The woman also brings others to meet Jesus, and they, seeing and hearing him, also believe. How can we bring others to meet Jesus today?
