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 readings for the Third Sunday of Trinity are: Isaiah 66: 10-14; Psalm 66: 1-8; Galatians 6:1-16; Luke 10: 1-11, 16-20.
Today’s Gospel passage recounts Jesus’ sending out of seventy disciples to proclaim that the Kingdom of God has come near those whom they meet. The passage does not indicate that these messengers will get a warm welcome everywhere. If they do not they are to wipe even the dust of the place they were rejected from their feet. But the missionaries are going to places where Jesus himself will go. They are not sent out alone, even though they carry no supplies or extra clothing. Jesus tells the returning missionaries not to rejoice over their earthly power, but that their names are already written in heaven. We, too, are sent out by Jesus to proclaim his kingdom. We often do not meet a warm welcome, but we are still called to proclaim the Gospel. Can we stay rejoicing that our names are written in heaven?
