THE CURRENT TEACHING OF THE MORMON CHURCH:

Heaven is divided into three kingdoms: Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial. A place for almost everyone.

"Contrary to the views found in the uninspired teachings and creeds of modern Christendom, there are in eternity Kingdoms of glory to which all resurrected persons (except the sons of perdition) will go. These are named: Celestial, Terrestrial, and Telestial, the glory of each being beyond mortal comprehension." DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS 76:1
