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, 5th July, 2026 is Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St. Augustine’s.

There is a service of Holy Communion on Thursday at 10 a.m.

The readings for the fifth Sunday after Trinity are: Zechariah 9:9-12; Psalm 145:8-15; Romans 7:15-25a; Matthew 11:16019, 25-end.

In the first part of today’s Gospel reading, Jesus tells us that we can always find fault. John the Baptist was sombre and warning. Jesus invites us to a wedding feast. We can object that the first is too threatening, the second not serious. Thus we can always avoid Jesus’ and God’s calling on us. But if we do respond, Jesus promises rest, and a light burden. It is not that becoming a Christian and following Jesus makes all our difficulties vanish. We will still face the world and its difficulties and temptations. Wisdom has been given to God’s children, such as John and Jesus. The wise will take heed and follow them. But Jesus will help bear our burdens, and we will find rest in him.
