Two "thoughts"about that.
1. The Creator:
was "here" long before Jesus. There never was a "time" when God was not among us, whom ever, where ever, when ever. The Old Testament in three words: God with us.
2. Jesus:
furthering the "Parent"in creation. He instituted the reality of his "every-where/when ever/whom ever" redemption on Thursday evening presaging and including his death, somewhere else on Friday and His self-revitilization some where else again and three calendar days later.  Jesus broke/breaks the bonds of place and time. 
There never was a "time" when the redemptive act of Jesus, as with the creative sustaining act of the Parent, was not among us, whom ever, where ever, when ever.
Don't understand your first sentence but I am with you for sure on the rest. If it's "heretical" then irony of ironies, it's what sustains my faith in God and partially fuels my hurt about church.
