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, September 20th, 2026, is the Benefice Harvest celebration at 10 a.m. at Trevor’s Barn, Dromonby, TS9 7AP.

The readings for the Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity are: Jonah 3:1-0 – end of 4; Psalm 145:1-8; Philippians 1:21 – end; Matthew 20: 1-16.

Today’s Gospel reading is about God’s generosity. The labourers agree to the usual daily wage, which was, in Biblical times, enough to feed a family for a day. Each time the landowner goes out to the marketplace he hires more people, sending them too to work in his vineyard, promising to pay them what is right. He does this again and again. At the end of the day, those who were hired last receive the usual daily wage. Those hired earlier receive the wage they agreed on at the start of the day, the same as those who came later. The first hired grumble about this; they expected to be paid more. The point here is that God provides for all who come into his kingdom, the first and the last. Each man hired got sufficient to feed his family. Can we be content with what we have, or do we grumble about those who seem to have more than us
