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 tomorrow,  Sunday, 18th October, 2026, is Holy Communion at St. Augustine’s at 9:30 a.m.. This is the parish harvest festival.

Sunday is also the festival of Luke the Evangelist. The readings for this are: Isaiah 35:3-6; Psalm 147:1-7; 2 Timothy 4:5-17; Luke 10:1-9.

In the Gospel passage, Jesus appoints seventy people and sends them out in pairs to prepare the way for him. They are to proclaim peace, heal the sick, and proclaim the kingdom of God. They are to trust in the generosity of people in the town where they are, and not to move from house to house looking for a better deal. These are hard requirements. The disciples are expected to leave everything and rely on the response of those who hear their proclamation. The appointment of seventy people probably points to the list of the seventy nations of the world found in Genesis; that is, the mission is to the whole world. As inheritors of the message of salvation in Jesus, how can we proclaim the kingdom of God today?
