Heinrichs was the son of the businessman Carl Conrad Heinrichs in Hanover. From Easter 1784 to Michaelis 1788 he studied theology at the Georg-August University in Göttingen . His studbook with the term 1784–1790 has been preserved from his studies in Göttingen . It shows him during his student days as a member of the Hanoverian Landsmannschaft as well as of the Amicist order . He also worked as a private tutor in Göttingen , and from Michaelis 1788 to Easter 1789 in Hanover. Then he returned to Göttingen and became a repetiteur at the theological faculty. For health reasons he was denied a career as a university lecturer. From Easter 1792 to 1793 he retired to Hanover. On January 21, 1794 he passed his exams before the consistory and got his first pastor position in Quickborn near Lüneburg. In 1799 he became archdeacon in Dannenberg (Elbe) and in 1806 superintendent in Klötze , an exclave in the Altmark that was then part of the Electorate of Hanover . In 1810 he became superintendent in Burgdorf near Hanover and held this office until his death. He was responsible for the reconstruction of the church buildings in Burgdorf, which had been completely destroyed by the fire in 1809, including St. Pankratius (Burgdorf) , and for the restoration of church structures. On his 50th anniversary in office in 1844, he received the title of Royal Council of Churches . At his death he was the longest serving superintendent of the Hanover consortium district.

Although Heinrichs was denied an academic career at the university, he made a name for himself as a theological writer. His main work was the collaboration on the completion of Johann Benjamin Koppe's revision of the Greek New Testament N. T. graece perpetua annotatione illustratum after his death in 1791 together with Thomas Christian Tychsen , Christoph Ammon and David Julius Pott . Heinrichs edited the Greek texts of the Acts of the Apostles , some letters and the Revelation of John . In 1821 he was supported by the Faculty of Theology of the University of Erlangen with the honorary doctorate awarded theology.

Since 1795 he was married to Dorette Eden († June 24, 1836), a daughter of the Lüneburg mayor of Eden. Their son Carl Friedrich Christoph Heinrichs (1798–1881) became pastor and consistorial councilor in Detmold. A daughter Ulrike died in 1848. Another son became a ministerial advisor in Hanover.
