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, 6th September, 2026 was Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St. Augustine’s.

On Thursday, 10th September, there will be Holy Communion at 10 a.m.

The readings for the Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity were: Ezekiel 33: 7 – 11; Psalm 119: 33 – 40; Romans 13: 8 – end; Matthew 18: 15 – 20.

In the Gospel reading, Jesus is addressing ‘the church’ through his disciples. If someone sins against us, we are to imitate the shepherd who seeks the lost sheep, Jesus himself, and seek reconciliation in private. If that does not work, others can be involved as witnesses to the seeking of the resumption of normal relations. If that fails, the matter is to be brought before everyone, and if that does not bring about repentance, then the person is to be excluded from the community. This is hard teaching for us, but Jesus’ point is that in churches where the world seems to be hostile to them, dispute and sin cannot be allowed to bring division. How do we deal with those we disagree with in our church? What could we do better?
