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, 7th June, 2026, is Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St Augustine’s.

On Thursday, 11th June, there will be Holy Communion at 10 a.m.

The readings for the First Sunday after Trinity are: Hosea 5:15-6:6, Psalm 50: 7-15, Romans 4:13-end, Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26.

Today’s Gospel reading has two seemingly unrelated sections. In the first, Jesus calls a hated tax collector to follow him, and is criticised for the company he is keeping. His response is that he has come to call ‘sinners’, not the (self-) righteous. In the midst of this dispute, a synagogue ruler pleads for Jesus’ help. Along the way, a sick woman, an outcast from her society, is healed, and Jesus brings the synagogue ruler’s daughter back to life. Jesus does not allow the critics to impair his mission. He has come to those both within the religious system and those outside it. The crucial test is whether people respond to him and seek his aid in whatever situation of distress they are in. It is difficult, as the Pharisees demonstrate, but can we manage it?
