Who's In Charge?
Christ is the head of the church.
He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything........(Col. 1:18)
But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is work properly, promotes the body's growth in building iteself up in love......(Ephesians 4:15-16)
