The Head of the Christian church is Jesus Christ. There is no central authority in Protestant religion whereas the Roman Catholic church has the Pope.

The Church of England has the Queen/king at the top but he/she cannot decide things related to the church. There are churches independent of these churches like the Greek Orthodox Church, Coptic church, Syrian Orthodox Church etc., All these churches are supposed to go by the Scripture.
