Do you mean who is the head of God's Church or the Church of the gods?
There is revelation about God or other revealed knowledge about gods. One of the revelation about God is that there are no other gods, monotheism -- one God.
Church is actually a collection of people usually sharing the same belief. If we are talking about Christianity, we are talking about believing in the [Christian] bible. What does the bible say about the head of the church?
Christ is the head of the church Ephesian !:22, 4:15, 5:23 and Collossians 1:18.

God doesn't have a church. Churches are a man-made concept. The temple for worship is "within". You won't find God in a brick and mortar building, nor anywhere in the outside world. Even Jesus told the people of his time, "The kingdom of heaven is within." What do people think that statement means?

Jesus in Heaven, and the pope on earth. When Jesus returns, whoever is the current pope will hand the keys back over to Jesus.
Up to the time of the apostles, there was the "seat of Moses". Then when Jesus appointed Peter as "the rock" to be in charge of the Church on earth after Jesus was to ascend up to Heaven, "the seat of Moses" became "the chair of Peter".
The one who now sits in the chair of Peter is our current pope. By the way, it's not a literal chair. It's an expression to mean the office of Peter.
I recommend looking in the New Testament to see what Jesus had to say about the seat of Moses, and then see how easily it applies to the Catholic Church and the office of the pope.

It depends which flavour of Christianity you prefer. For the Catholics, it is the Pope. For the Mormons, it's their President, a.k.a. Prophet, Seer & Revelator. For the Greek Orthodox, it is the Patriarch of Constantinople.....and so on, and so forth...

(Ephesians 5:23-24) Christ is the head of the congregation...in fact the congregation is in subjection to the Christ.
