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 today, Sunday, 2nd August, 2026, is Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St. Augustine’s.

There is a service of Holy Communion at 10 a.m. on Thursday, 6th August. This is the Feast of the Transfiguration

The readings for the Ninth Sunday after Trinity are: Isaiah 55: 1-5; Psalm 145: 8-9, 19-end; Romans 9: 1-5; Matthew 14:13-21.

The Gospel reading from Matthew is a well-known passage, the feeding of the five thousand. It has parallels with Old Testament passages such as 2 Kings 4:42-4, the feeding of the Israelites in the desert after the Exodus (Exodus 16) and, of course, Jesus’ institution of Holy Communion later in Matthew’s Gospel (Matthew 26: 20-9). The feeding of the five thousand therefore looks both forward and back. It looks back to the prophets and Moses, and forward to the fellowship with Jesus offered in the feast of the kingdom of God, foreshadowed in our Holy Communion. We are privileged to be invited to this banquet. We might find ourselves in a desert, or a sea of lack of faith, but Jesus will provide for us physically and spiritually.
