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, 19th July 2026, is Holy Communion at St. Augustine’s at 9:30 a.m.

The readings for the Seventh Sunday after Trinity are: Isaiah 44:6-8; Psalm 86:11 – end; Romans 8:12-25; Matthew 13: 24-30, 36-43.

In today’s Gospel reading, Jesus tells a parable, which is probably familiar, as it is often known as the wheat and the tares. His disciples ask for an interpretation, and Jesus explains that while the world is a fertile ground for the children of the Kingdom of God, his disciples, evil, represented by the devil and his children, will try to impair or destroy them. Evil is always with us, until the end of the age when the angels will gather in God’s harvest and evil will be destroyed. The devil imitates Jesus in this parable, sowing seed and growing plants. Sometimes it can seem that evil is getting the upper hand, that good things and people are being squeezed out. The words of Jesus that the good will triumph at the end of the age should encourage us. Evil will not have the final word.
