In the same congregation he was called to the ministry on May 26, 1889, being installed by Elder J C Johnson. He was advanced to the second degree of the ministry May 25, 1890, Elder James A Sell officiating. Brother Hetrick has always held his membership in the same congregation.
Brother Hetrick's ministry extended over the Red Bank, Glade Run and Brush Valley congregations, Armstrong County, and the Shemoken congregation, Jefferson County. Two years he was a member of the Home Mission Supply Committee, and did a great deal of preaching.
Brother Hetrick was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Coleman of Kellersburg, March 16, 1871. To this union thirteen children were born, all being members of the Brethren church except the youngest two.
