Andreas Petrus went to Halle (Saale) with his brother . On April 14, 1728 he began studying theology at the local university. In 1729 he became a teacher ("informator") at the Mittelwachische Schule in Halle. From 1735 to 1737 he was an informator at the pedagogy in Halle. Later he corresponded with the circle around Gotthilf August Francke .

In 1738 he began a spiritual career at the Marienkirche in Stargard as an adjunct. In 1746 he was promoted to deacon and in 1758 to archdeacon. In 1759/60, Hecker founded a secondary school in Stargard in Pomerania based on the example of his brother . It was named Vangerowsche Realschule after its private donor, Karl Friedrich Vangerow .
