Farmington abolitionists were members of this congregation whose minister, Reverend Noah Porter, supported the abolitionist cause. Occasionally, he exchanged pulpits with Reverend James W. C. Pennington, a former slave who became minister of the Talcott Street Congregational Church in Hartford (now Faith Congregational Church). On their arrival in Farmington, the newly freed Mende Africans of the Amistad Case were welcomed into the church. The First Church supported the Amistad Case through its members, who provided clothing, housing, education and Christian teaching to the Mende Africans while they lived in Farmington awaiting funds to return to Africa. They worshiped here and just before their return to Africa, their leader, Cinque, gave a farewell speech at the church in his native language. The church is a National Historic Landmark.
