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

On Thursday, 3rd September, Holy Communion is at 10 a.m.

The readings for the Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity are: Jeremiah 15: 15-21; Psalm 26: 1-8; Romans 12: 9-end; Matthew 16: 21-end.

In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus talks about how hard it is to follow him. Even Peter, who, in the Gospel, has just proclaimed Jesus the Messiah, falls into error and is sharply rebuked for it. Jesus wants us to follow him, and he knows that doing that can sometimes feel like crucifixion. Thus, we have to carry our own cross, as Jesus carried his before his execution. But why should we do any such thing? Jesus is clear. He will repay everyone for the hard work of following him on earth. We need to have a broader view than just this life on earth. How are we doing following Jesus?
