²² Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
²³ For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is Head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
²⁴ Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

The church and the BODY OF CHRIST are the same thing.
(Colossians 1:24)
