The Church is a Christocracy: Jesus Christ, is its Head and King. No aspect of Christ's relationship to the church stands out more emphatically in the Bible than this fact.

"Jesus Christ, upon whose shoulders the government rests, whose name is called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace: of the increase of whose government and peace there shall be no end: who sits upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom to order it and to establish it with judgment and justice from henceforth, even forever; having all power given unto him in heaven and earth by the Father, who raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand, far above all principalities and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all: he being ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things, received gifts for his church, and gave officers necessary for the edification of his church, and perfecting of his saints." (Isa. 9:6,7; Matt. 28:18-20; Eph. 1:20-23; Eph. 4:8,11; Psa. 68:18) (The Westminster Form of Presbyterial Church Government)
