Simon became Peter, the rock on which the Church would be built.Different passages in the Bible use different analogies - sometimes Jesus was the cornerstone and the Apostles the rest of the foundation. In this passage, Jesus is the builder, and Peter the foundation.

Jesus is, of course, the rock, the foundation of the Church. However, in John 1:42, Jesus changes the Apostle Simon's name to Cephas, or Peter, a name which means "Rock". Now we know from scripture that Jesus is the Rock, or Cornerstone (1 Corinthians 10:4). Therefore, it can be assumed from this name change that Jesus is handing on to Peter what He Himself is, Rock. Once Christ ascended into Heaven, Peter became the new rock, foundation or earthly leader of the Church.

Peter himself founded nothing; his work on behalf of the risen Lord Jesus was PART of the foundation of Christ's church. 1 Corinthians 3:11 - For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:19, 20 - Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, The doctrine and practices of the Catholic church came centuries later; the result of a departure from the faith.
