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, 17th May 2026 is Holy Communion at 9:30 a.m. at St Augustine’s.
The readings for the Seventh Sunday of Easter are Acts 1:6-14; Psalm 68: 1-10, 32-end; 1 Peter 4:12-14, 5:6-11; John 17:1-11.
Today’s Gospel reading is known as Jesus’ last prayer. It is the final part of the section in John’s Gospel called the farewell discourse. Jesus is preparing his disciples for his arrest, unjust condemnation and judicial murder. He also refers to the disciples’ future mission, in spreading the good news to all the world. In the reading, Jesus asks the Father to glorify him. Of course, this is not glory in the human sense of the word. Jesus’ glory will come from his death and resurrection. In the second part of the reading, Jesus speaks about the disciples and prays for them. These are the people who made known his saving action in the world. We are their heirs. How are we making Jesus known in our world?
