Will There Be Any Church In Heaven?
Answer: There will be no churches or temples in heaven because we won’t need them.
We will be right there in the presence of God. We will be perfect and sinless, so we won’t need to go to Sunday school to learn about God or about how to obey him.
We won’t need worship leaders because we will worship just by being there. We will know God and see him face-to-face.
Key verse: No temple could be seen in the city. Why? Because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are worshiped in it everywhere. (Revelation 21:22)

Note to parents: After a question like this, explain the purpose of the church on earth and why it is necessary to attend.
Also, if your child views church as boring, he may be asking if heaven is boring. Assure him that heaven is a wonderful, exciting place.
Will God Be With Me All The Time In Heaven?
Answer: Yes! In heaven, you will get to go right up to God and talk to him.
God will be with you all the time, and you will be with him.
God will be your friend, and you will be his.
Getting to be with God will be one of heaven’s greatest joys.
Key verse: I heard a loud shout from the throne. It was saying, “Look, the home of God is now among men.
He will live with them and they will be his people. Yes, God himself will be among them.” (Revelation 21:3)

Will There Be A Bible “Hall Of Fame” In Heaven?
Answer: Some people think that heaven is just like earth, with shopping malls, schools, athletic stadiums, and airports.
But heaven is very different from earth. The focus in heaven is on God, not people.
We will praise and worship God because no one’s fame can compare with his.
People will be honored in heaven, however. The Bible says that believers will receive rewards for their good deeds.
The greatest reward, of course, is just getting there.
God gives salvation a free gift made possible by Jesus’ death on the cross-to all who put their faith in Christ.
He will give other rewards to every believer who does good deeds for God on earth. Everyone’s service will be rewarded.
Key verse: See, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me. I will repay everyone according to the deeds he has done. (Revelation 22:12)

Note to parents: It’s easy to confuse rewards for good service with salvation by works. We receive our salvation by faith, not good deeds!
