Who is credited for establishing the first Christian church in Rome?
Peter is usually credited with establishing the Church in Rome. There is a wealth of evidence, both documental and archaeological, that Peter and Paul ended up in Rome. While it is probably true that there were Christians in Rome long before Peter and Paul's settlement there, most scholars believe that it was Peter who established the Church there as a dynamic group of Christians from a scattered Christian population in hiding. Evidence for this includes the catacombs beneath the ancient city of Rome, where there exists a great deal of grafitti on the walls that refers both to Peter and to Paul, and to their presence in Rome. There is also a great deal of evidence that after the executions of Peter and Paul their bodies were taken and concealed in the St Sebastian Catacombs whch run under the Appian Way leading south out of Rome, only to be reinterred in their respective basilicas after Christianity became accepted as the religion of the Empire, St Peter's remains being interred in what is now the Vatican City, and St Paul's in his own Basilica on the southern side of the city. So, whether or not the church in Rome was 'founded' by Peter or Paul, they were well known to the Christians there, and there is much evidence that they ended their days there by execution, but not before a large Christian Church was established by them.

What church was left by Jesus Christ?
The church that Jesus Christ left on earth, was the Christian church, His Church, founded by his apostles. But what churches are these exactly. 1. The Church of Rome founded by the Apostle Peter and Paul 2. The Church of Constantinople founded by the Apostle Andrew 3. The Church of Alexandria founded by Mark the Evangelist 4. The Church of Jerusalem which was founded by Jesus himself, the continuation of his work in Jerusalem. 5. The Church of Antioch founded by the Apostle Peter. Each of these five churches before the East-West schism, formed the One true Holy and Catholic Apostolic Church, and it is from these that all other Christian denominations find their routes. Over time these churches witnessed internal schisms such as the protestant reformation which gave birth to the protestant churches. Therefore the church that Jesus Christ founded was the Christian church in all of its variation and glory
Where in the Bible did the apostle Peter die?
A:The death of Peter is not mentioned in the Bible, even in Acts of the Apostles, which was not written until around the turn of the century. Realistically, we do not know how or where Peter died.On the other hand, Catholic tradition says that Peter travelled to Rome to lead the Christian community there and was subsequently crucified in Rome, having appointed his successor. However, the majority of scholars say that the Christian community in Rome was led by a college of presbyters until well into the second century, when the first bishop was appointed. It is improbable in the extreme that an apostolic precedent of a bishop of Rome would be so soon abandoned and ignored for almost a hundred years, and so it is most improbable that Peter ever led the church in Rome or that he died there.

The first organised church system can be traced back to the early third century. As for who specifically founded the very first church in England - the answer is unknown. But in 597 Saint Augustine arrived in England and established his church in Canterbury. Through this an organised Roman Catholic church spread across the country.

It seems likely that he did visit Rome on his way to Spain, but we have no way of knowing what his influence in Rome might have been.
