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, May 24th 2026, is Holy Communion at 10 a.m. at S Hilda's, Bilsdale Priory. This is our Benefice service for May, and is also Pentecost Sunday. Please wear something Red the liturgicalcolour for the holy Spirit.

The speaker will be Yvonne Bowling, agricultural chaplain.

The readings for Pentecost are Acts 2: 1-21; Psalm 104: 25-35, 37; 1 Corinthians 12: 3b-13; John 20: 19-23.

The Pentecost readings give accounts of the coming of the Holy Spirit, the comforter, the advocate, Jesus promised before his crucifixion. In the Gospel reading, the disciples are in a locked room, and Jesus comes to them. They rejoice when they see their risen Lord, and he sends them out, breathing the Holy Sprit in them. Locked rooms are no more, the disciples are sent to proclaim the salvation offered in Jesus to the world. In the Acts reading as well, the disciples receive the Holy Spirit in private, but then proclaim the Good News to the crowd in Jerusalem. Faith in Jesus can start as a private thing, but we are not called to keep it so, but to proclaim Jesus as Lord. How do we do that?
