The Bible describes Christ's church primarily as His body, with Jesus explicitly identified as the Head over all things. Key verses like Ephesians 1:22–23 state that God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him as head over everything for the church, which is described as His body and the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Ephesians 5:23–27 reinforces this by noting that Christ is the head of the church and its Savior, who loved the church and gave Himself up for it to sanctify and cleanse it.
