What does the Bible say about the church being built on the rock?

Answered in 1 source

The church is built on Christ Himself, not on Peter, as stated in Matthew 16:18.

In Matthew 16:18, Jesus declares, 'Upon this rock I will build my church,' indicating that the foundation of the church is His own person and nature, not Peter as an individual. This emphasizes that the church's strength and stability derive from Christ's perfections and power. When we recognize Christ as the living stone, we understand that the powers of hell cannot prevail against His eternal kingdom, which is established on His divine truth rather than on any human authority.
