St. Luke welcomes organist and precentor Mr. Charles Lance Davis as its new Minister of Sacred Music. "Lance", an Augusta native, has held music positions in Anglican/Episcopal parishes around the country since 2009, and has supported St. Luke as a guest organist since 2018. He was received as a convert into the Anglican Catholic Church at Pentecost in May, 2020. Now residing back in his hometown, Lance will play, sing, and direct the liturgical music ministry and outreach of St. Luke Anglican Church.

Lance is a graduate of the Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School in Augusta (2005) and of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa where he graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in Christian Patristics & Liturgics (2009). He received his Colleague Certification with the American Guild of Organists (AGO) in 2012 and completed his choral and organ residencies in 2014 at Yorkminster and Southwark Cathedral, London in the U.K. In addition to sacred music, Lance has also distinguished himself as a recitalist, at such noteworthy venues as the Mormon Tabernacle, Carnegie Hall, and Columbia University.

Also a passionate educator, Lance serves St. Andrew's Anglican Academy in Chester, CA as their virtual instructor of Latin, Music, and Church History. Each summer for his annual visit, he serves as Director of Choristers for the academy's choral camp focused on Renaissance polyphony, Gregorian chant, and traditional English/Anglican choral works. 

In what spare time that he has left, Lance enjoys studying and publishing liturgical materials, cooking, savoring fine whiskey and tobacco, and cultivating his art of being the best groomed/dressed man on the planet.
