When we are in heaven is there any possibility for further growth? Can we continue to learn about God?
St Paul says that now we see as in a mirror (foggy) but then we shall see face to face. Does that mean that we will know everything we will ever know immediately?
 
When we get to heaven, we will know everything we can know, immediately.

happiness of heaven is essentially unchangeable; still it admits of some accidental changes. Thus we may suppose that the blessed experience special joy when they receive greater veneration from men on earth. In particular, a certain growth in knowledge by experience is not excluded; for instance, as time goes on, new free actions of men may become known to the blessed, or personal observation and experience may throw a new light on things already known. And after the las judgment accidental beatitude will receive some increase from the union of soul and body, and from the sight of the new heaven and the earth.
 
Isa 9:7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

If there is no end to the increase of his government, it would seem to imply that there is growth of some sort.

I am also not sure that there is anywhere that it says that we get omniscience in heaven. Perhaps we have an eternity to explore the riches of His Glory.

Christ in the flesh, having emptied himself of his deity, was still the express image of deity, and we will be like him. That does not require that we become deity. Simply that we become like Christ was in the flesh; holy, sanctified, etc.
 
In the Kingdom of Heaven, you will have full consciousness of** EVERYTHING!** We will see God, like we see each other:FACE TO FACE. We will talk and walk with him as we would do with a close friend here on earth.

Have you ever pictured what it will be like to gaze on the Glory of god? Can you even begin to imagine how we poor mortals can feast our eyes on the majesty, and beauty of the Ancient of Days? Believe me, in Heaven, Literally, EVERYTHING good that you can imagine will not even come close to what The Lord offers us.
