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, 1st March 2026 is Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St Augustine’s.

On Thursday, 5th March 2026, at 10 a.m. the Holy Communion Service will include the second Lent Talk, by Dr Nick Land. The title is ‘What are tongues?’ (1 Corinthians 14:1-19).

The readings for the Second Sunday of Lent are: Genesis 12:1-4a; Psalm 121; Romans 4: 1-5, 13,17; John 3:1-17.Today’s Gospel passage includes what is probably one of the best-known Bible verses: ‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…(v. 16)’ The context is a conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus, a Jewish leader. He struggles to understand what Jesus is saying. He cannot fit Jesus into his pre-existing categories and understanding. Nicodemus leaves baffled, but he does not stop considering Jesus’ words. In John 7:50-1, he argues that Jesus should be given a fair trial, and in John 19: 39-42 he assists in the burial of Jesus. Many of us might have been baffled by some parts of the Gospel. Lent is an excellent time to take these thoughts, and look again at Jesus and what he means to us today.
