Heinrick used his skills to help construct the first church building in Beck, Missouri. St. John's Church, organized in 1848 and one of the oldest Lutheran congregations west of the Mississippi, was meeting in the homes of parishioners when the Jungermann family arrived in Jefferson County, Missouri in 1855. Some time later, Heinrick participated in building a log church on land donated by Mr. Beck. During the winter months, Heinrick used his trade to supplement his income. His wife, Elisabeth, recorded that one winter he earned what she calculated was nine and one-half cents an hour fashioning barrel hoops out of willow and cottonwood. The money helped the family buy 25 acres of Mississippi bottom land for twelve and one-half cents per acre.
