- The Church of Plano. Not much is known about this site of yet, either. The First Evangelical Church of Plano is a New Evangelical Church; one congregation of the New Evangelical Church donated land for the first base of the [[105th Airborne Crusaders]] and another took care of Fort Paul during a deployment. The Church of Plano is also a sola scriptura organization.
===Location===One possibility for the location of the Church of Plano is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plano,_Texas Plano, TX]. The Wikipedia page on Plano includes a section on Plano students, suicides, and heroin:
:''Plano students achieved notoriety following a cluster of nine suicides in 1983 that raised national awareness about suburban teenage depression and drug abuse. The drug specifically cited by many was heroin. This heroin problem resurfaced in the late 1990s, culminating in coverage by several major news outlets such as NBC's Dateline and MTV's Faces of Death. Heroin use in Plano eventually led to over a dozen overdose deaths of teenagers and young adults. Many more Plano heroin users suffered from overdoses that did not result in death. Based on the heroin epidemic among Plano youth, the Plano Police Department launched an undercover investigation known as "Operation Rockfest." The investigation led to 84 drug cases against 33 adults and four juveniles, including 14 students enrolled in Plano schools. [2]
:In July 2003, Taylor Hooton, a student athlete at Plano West Senior High School, committed suicide which his family believed was connected to depression caused by the use of steroids used for performance enhancement. Much like the city's suicide and heroin issues of the 1980s and 1990s, this incident drew national focus to the issues of high school athletes and steroid use. Chris Wash was featured on the cover of the December 20, 2004, Newsweek magazine wearing a Plano West Senior High School shirt in an article about the use of steroids in high schools. On March 10, 2005, Don Hooton (the father of Taylor) testified before a Congressional Subcommittee about the use of steroids in high school. This was a widely covered event as several prominent baseball players including José Canseco and Mark McGwire testified as well.''
The picture of the church on the Church of Plano website has identified the building as that of [http://http://www.olacathedral.org/cathedral/arch/overview.html the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels] in Los Angeles.
==Webpages===
Currently, there are no subpages for the Church of Plano site, making it somewhat of an oddity, as it is the only site to not have any.
