Well, that isn't exactly how a Mormon would put it, but we do believe that there will be at least three degrees of glory, or kingdoms, in the afterlife.
The Celestial Kingdom ("highest"/closest to God), the Terrestrial Kingdom, and the Telestial Kingdom ("lowest"/closest to what this Earth is like).
We think that all of them are way, way better than where we are now.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) teaches that heaven has three kingdoms or levels. They believe that the vast majority of mankind will go to heaven, thus necessitating different levels.
*The highest level, the Celestial Kingdom, is for faithful Christians who obey God's commandments. Also, those who did not have the opportunity to become Christians during mortality but accepted Christ after death will go here.
*The middle level, the Terrestrial Kingdom, is for believers who were not faithful and good people who were not believers. Also, those who refused to accept Christ in mortality but had a change of heart and accepted Him after death will go here.
*The lowest level, the Telestial Kingdom, is for those who refused to accept Jesus Christ. They will spend 1000 years in hell prior to going here.
*Hell, usually called Perdition by Mormons, is only for those who knew God and His commandments and then rebelled and refused to return.

What is a kingdom in a Mormon church?
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) a kingdom could refer to a couple things.First is the Kingdom of God. If someone references 'building the kingdom' or something similar, they are referring to the Kingdom of God. The Bible Dictionary, published by the Church, puts it this way, "Generally speaking, the the kingdom of God on the earth is the Church. It is a preparation for the greater kingdom-the celestial or kingdom of heaven. However, kingdom of heaven is sometimes used in scripture to mean the Church, meaning that the true church on the earth is the path to heaven, and is the kingdom of heaven on earth."Second, the Kingdoms of Glory. Mormons believe that within heaven there are three 'kingdoms' or degrees. The highest of these is the Celestial Kingdom, followed by the Terrestrial and Telestial Kingdoms. There are different requirements to be admitted into each kingdom. You can learn about the kingdoms of glory at the "Related Link" below, it's too much to include here.
