Family of Funds

(the "Trust")

Prospectus May 1, 2002

This Prospectus offers the following series of the Trust (the "Traditional Funds"):

Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund

Timothy Plan Large/Mid-Cap Growth Fund

Timothy Plan Small-Cap Value Fund

Timothy Plan Large/Mid-Cap Value Fund

Timothy Plan Fixed-Income Fund

Timothy Plan Money Market Fund

And the following series of the Trust that invest in certain Traditional Funds (collectively, the "Asset Allocation Funds"):

Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund

Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund

The Timothy Plan was established to provide an investment alternative for people who want to invest according to certain ethical standards. Each Fund invests according to its own distinct investment objective. However, all the Funds have one thing in common: they do not invest in any company that is involved in the business of alcohol production, tobacco production or casino gambling, or which is involved, either directly or indirectly, in pornography or abortion. Each Asset Allocation Fund invests the majority of its assets in certain Traditional Funds of the Trust to provide a convenient way to allocate your investment among the Traditional Funds.

The Funds are distributed through Timothy Partners, Ltd. 1304 West Fairbanks Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32789.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a crime.

3

THE BASICS ABOUT THE TRADITIONAL FUNDS

The Timothy Plan believes that it has a responsibility to invest in a moral and ethical manner. Accordingly, none of our Funds invest in any company that is involved in the business of alcohol production, tobacco production, or casino gambling, or which is involved, either directly or indirectly, in pornography or abortion. Securities issued by companies engaged in these prohibited activities are excluded from the Funds' portfolios and are referred to throughout this Prospectus as "Excluded Securities." Excluded Securities will not be purchased by any of our Funds. Timothy Partners, Ltd. ("TPL") is investment adviser to the Funds and is responsible for determining those securities that are Excluded Securities.

Because none of our Funds will invest in Excluded Securities, the pool of securities from which each may choose may be limited to a certain degree. Although TPL believes that the Funds can achieve their investment objectives within the parameters of ethical investing, eliminating Excluded Securities as investments may have an adverse effect on a Fund's performance. However, "total return" is more than just numbers. It is also investing in a way that supports and reflects your beliefs and ideals. All of our Funds strive to maximize both kinds of total return.

TIMOTHY PLAN AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment objective

Long-term growth of capital.

Primary investment strategies

.    Normally investing at least 65% of the Fund's total assets in U.S. common
     stocks;
.    Investing in securities of companies without regard to market
     capitalizations; and

. Investing its assets in the securities of a limited number of companies which the Fund's investment manager believes show a high probability for superior growth.

Primary risks

1. General Risk- As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in this Fund. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.
2. Stock Market Risk- The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.
3. Small-Cap Stock Risk- The Fund primarily invests in smaller companies. Smaller companies are particularly susceptible to price swings because, due to their size, they often do not have the resources available to them that are available to larger companies.
4. Excluded Security Risk- Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities, the Fund may be riskier than other Funds that invest in a broader array of securities.
5. Growth Risks- The Fund invests in companies that appear to be growth-oriented companies. Growth companies are companies that the Fund's investment manager believes will have revenue and earnings that grow faster than the economy as a whole, offering above-average prospects for capital appreciation and little or no emphasis on dividend income. If the investment manager's perceptions of a company's growth potential are wrong, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund's return.

Who should buy this Fund

The Fund is appropriate for investors who understand the risks of investing in the stock market and who are willing to accept significant amounts of volatility and risk.

Past performance

Although past performance of the Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund because it demonstrates how the Fund's returns have varied over time. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund's Class A returns since its inception. The performance table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns compare over time to the returns of a broad-based securities market index.

TIMOTHY PLAN LARGE/MID-CAP GROWTH FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment objective

Long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund's investment objective.

Primary investment strategies

. Normally investing at least 65% of the Fund's total assets in U.S. common stocks;
. Primarily investing in equity securities with market capitalization in excess of $1 billion;
. Investing in a portfolio of securities which includes a broadly diversified number of U.S. equity securities that the Fund's investment manager believes show a high probability of superior prospects for above average growth. The Fund's investment manager chooses these securities using a "bottoms up" approach of extensively analyzing the financial, management, and overall economic conditions of each potential investment.

Primary risks

1. General Risk- As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in this Fund. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.
2. Stock Market Risk- The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.

TIMOTHY PLAN SMALL-CAP VALUE FUND

Investment objective

Long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income.

Primary investment strategies

. The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by primarily investing in U.S. small-cap stocks. Small-Cap stocks refer to the common stock of smaller companies - companies whose total market capitalization is generally less than $1 billion.
. In determining whether to invest in a particular company, the Fund's investment manager focuses on a number of different attributes of the company, including the company's market expertise, balance sheet, improving return on equity, price to earnings ratios, industry position and strength, management and a number of other factors. Analyzing companies in this manner is known as a "bottoms up" approach to investing.

Primary risks

1. General Risk- As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in this Fund. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.
2. Stock Market Risk- The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.
3. Small-Cap Stock Risk- The Fund invests in smaller companies. Smaller companies are particularly susceptible to price swings, because, due to their size, they often do not have the resources available to them that are available to larger companies.
4. Excluded Security Risk- Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities, the Fund may be riskier than other Funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

Who should buy this Fund

The Fund is appropriate for investors who understand the risks of investing in the stock market and who are willing to accept moderate amounts of volatility and risk.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment objective

Long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income.

Primary investment strategies

. The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by primarily investing in U.S. common stocks. The Fund will normally invest in companies whose total market capitalization exceeds $1 billion.
. In determining whether to invest in a particular company, the Fund's investment manager focuses on a number of different attributes of the company, including the company's market expertise, balance sheet, improving return on equity, price to earnings ratios, industry position and strength, management, and a number of other factors. Analyzing companies in this manner is known as a "bottoms up" approach to investing.

Primary risks

1. General Risk- As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in this Fund. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.
2. Stock Market Risk- The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.
3. Mid-Cap Stock Risk- Although the Fund generally invests in companies with larger market capitalization (greater than $1 billion), it may also invest in smaller companies. Smaller companies may be more susceptible to price swings, because, due to their size, they often do not have the resources available to them that are available to larger companies.
4. Excluded Security Risk- Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities, the Fund may be riskier than other Funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

Who should buy this Fund

The Fund is appropriate for investors who understand the risks of investing in the stock market and who are willing to accept moderate amounts of volatility and risk.

Past performance

The bar chart and performance table below show the variability of the Fund's Class A returns, which is one indicator of the risks of investing in the Fund.

TIMOTHY PLAN FIXED INCOME FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment objective

To generate a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk.

Primary investment strategies

. To achieve its goal, the Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of debt securities. These include corporate bonds, U.S. government and agency securities, convertible securities and preferred securities. The investment manager will only purchase securities for the Fund that are investment grade, with a rating of at least "BBB" as rated by Standard & Poor's or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized rating agency. The Fund may also invest in debt securities that have not been rated by one of the major rating agencies, so long as the Fund's investment manager has determined that the security is of comparable credit quality to similar rated securities.
. In managing its portfolio, the Fund' s investment manager concentrates on sector analysis, industry allocation and securities selection, deciding which types of bonds and industries to emphasize at a given time, and then which individual bonds to buy. The Fund attempts to anticipate shifts in the business cycle in determining types of bonds and industry sectors to target. In choosing individual securities, the Fund seeks out securities that appear to be undervalued within the emphasized industry sector.

Primary risks

1. General Risk- As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in this Fund. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.
2. Interest Rate Risk- When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; the higher the Fund's duration (a calculation reflecting time risk, taking into account both the average maturity of the Fund's portfolio and its average coupon return), the more sensitive the Fund is to interest rate risk.
3. Credit Risk- The Fund could lose money if any bonds it owns are downgraded in credit rating or go into default. For this reason, the Fund will only invest in investment-grade bonds.
4. Sector Risk- If certain industry sectors or types of securities don't perform as well as the Fund expects, the Fund's performance could suffer.

Who should buy this Fund

This Fund is appropriate for investors who want a high level of current income and are willing to accept a minor degree of volatility and risk.

Class A cusip number: 887432821
TIMOTHY PLAN MONEY MARKET FUND

Investment objective

The Fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital. The Fund also attempts to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00.

Primary investment strategies

. The Fund invests primarily in short-term debt instruments, such as obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies, certificates of deposit, bankers acceptances, commercial paper, and short-term corporate notes. The Fund may also invest in repurchase agreements. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will not invest in any security with a maturity in excess of 397 days.
. The Fund will only purchase securities that have a rating of at least "AA" by Standard & Poor's or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized rating agency. The Fund may also invest in debt securities that have not been rated by one of the major rating agencies, so long as the Fund's investment manager has determined that the security is of comparable credit quality to similar rated securities

Primary risks

1. Money Market Risk- An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

3. Credit Risk- The Fund could lose money if its holdings are downgraded in credit rating or go into default. Accordingly, the Fund will only invest in investment-grade bonds.

Who should buy this Fund

The Fund is appropriate for investors who are seeking a high level of current income and preservation of capital.

//(1)// US Bank, the Funds' Custodian, charges a fee of $9 on redemptions paid by wire transfer.
//(2)// The Funds' adviser, TPL, has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses for the Aggressive Growth Fund, the Large/Mid-Cap Growth Fund and the Fixed-Income Fund through April 30, 2005 to maintain total annual operating expenses at 1.60%, 1.60% and 1.35%, respectively, of the applicable Fund Class A shares' average daily net assets, and at 2.35%, 2.35% and 2.10%, respectively, of the applicable Fund's Class B shares' average daily net assets. These Fund classes have agreed to repay these expenses in the first, second and third fiscal years following the year ending December 31, 2004, to the extent the total expenses of the applicable Fund class for any such year or years do not exceed the applicable average daily net asset percentage set forth above or any lower expense limitation or limitations to which the Funds' adviser may otherwise agree. The Funds' adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse fund expenses for the Money Market Fund through April 30, 2005 to maintain total annual operating expenses at no more than 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Money Market Fund has agreed to repay these expenses in the first, second and third fiscal years following the year ending December 31, 2004, to the extent the total expenses of the Fund for any such year or years do not exceed 0.85% of the Fund's average daily net assets or any lower expense limitation or limitations to which the Fund's adviser may otherwise agree.

Example:

The hypothetica example below shows what your expenses would be if you invested $10,000 in Class A shares of each Traditional Fund (or No-load shares of the Money Market Fund) for the time periods indicated, reinvested all distributions, and then redeemed all your shares at the end of those periods. The Example assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that each Fund's net operating expenses remain the same as in the table above. This example is for comparison only, and does not represent each Fund's actual expenses and returns, either past or future.

THE BASICS ABOUT THE ASSET ALLOCATION FUNDS

In addition to the Traditional Funds described above, the Timothy Plan offers two Asset Allocation Funds: the Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund and the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund. Each Asset Allocation Fund attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing the majority of its assets in certain Traditional Funds. The Asset Allocation Funds offer you the opportunity to pursue one of two specially constructed asset allocation strategies. The Asset Allocation Funds are designed for long-term investors seeking total return for tax-advantaged retirement plans and other long-term investment or savings accounts.

TIMOTHY PLAN STRATEGIC GROWTH FUND
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investment objective

Medium to high levels of long-term capital growth. Current income is a consideration only to the extent that the Traditional Funds in which the Fund invests seek current income.

Primary investment strategies

The Strategic Growth Fund normally will invest at least 75% of its assets in the following Traditional Funds according to the following approximated range of percentages:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Timothy Fund                % of Fund's Net Assets Invested in Traditional Fund
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small Cap Value Fund                               15-20%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Large/Mid Cap Value Fund                           20-25%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund                          30-35%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aggressive Growth Fund                             15-20%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Strategic Growth Fund normally will invest its remaining cash, if any, in U.S. government securities and short-term paper.

The Adviser will determine the specific asset allocation program. On each day that the Strategic Growth Fund is open for business, the Adviser will review the asset allocation program and reallocate, as necessary, for any new funds invested in the Fund. TPL also will reallocate the Strategic Growth Fund's investments in the Traditional Funds at the end of each fiscal quarter to maintain the asset allocation program.

Primary risks

1. General Risk- As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in the Fund. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.
2. Portfolio Risk- The Fund is subject to all of the risks that are inherent in the Traditional Funds in which the Fund invests.

Who should buy this Fund

TPL is appropriate for investors who understand the risks of investing in moderate- to aggressively- oriented equity funds and who wish to allocate their investments among multiple funds with a single investment.

Past performance

Although past performance of the Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund because it demonstrates how the Fund's returns have varied over time. The bar chart shows changes in the Fund's Class A returns since its inception. The performance table shows how the Fund's average annual total returns compare over time to the returns of a broad-based securities market index.

Investment objective

Moderate levels of long-term capital growth. Current income is a secondary objective.

Primary investment strategies

The Conservative Growth Fund normally will invest at least 75% of its assets in the following Traditional Funds according to the following approximated range of percentages:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Timothy Fund                % of Fund's Net Assets Invested in Traditional Fund
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small Cap Value Fund                               15-20%

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed Income Fund                                  25-30%
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Conservative Growth Fund normally will invest its remaining cash, if any, in U.S. government securities and short-term paper.

TPL will determine the specific asset allocation program. On each day that the Conservative Growth Fund is open for business, TPL will review the asset allocation program and reallocate, as necessary, for any new funds invested in the Fund.

Primary risks

1. General Risk- As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in the Fund. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.
2. Portfolio Risk- The Fund is subject to all of the risks that are inherent in the Traditional Funds in which the Fund invests.
3. Interest Rate Risk- To the extent that the Fund invests in the Fixed-Income Fund and other fixed income securities, the Fund will be exposed to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; the higher the Fund's duration (a calculation reflecting time risk, taking into account both the average maturity of the Fund's portfolio and its average coupon return), the more sensitive the Fund is to interest rate risk.
4. Credit Risk- To the extent that the Fund invests in the Fixed-Income Fund and other fixed income securities, the Fund will be exposed to credit risk. The Fund could lose money if any bonds it owns are downgraded in credit rating or go into default. For this reason, the Fixed-Income Fund will only invest in investment grade bonds.

Who should buy this Fund

The Fund is appropriate for investors who understand the risks of investing in moderately risk oriented equity funds, but who also wish to realize current income and allocate their investments among multiple funds with a single investment.

Past performance

Although past performance of the Fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in the future, historical performance may give you some indication of the risk of investing in the Fund because it demonstrates how the Fund's returns have varied over time.

Example:

The following tables set forth the estimated aggregate expenses of the Asset Allocation Funds, including expenses of the underlying Traditional Funds in which they invest, based upon the expense tables for the Asset Allocation Funds set out above. These estimates assume a constant allocation by each Asset Allocation Fund of its assets in the Traditional Funds as described in the "Basics About the Asset Allocation Funds" section. Actual expenses of the Asset Allocation Funds may be higher or lower than this example. Based on the assumptions previously stated, you would pay the following combined expenses on a $10,000 investment assuming a 5% annual return and redemption at the end of each period.*

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Each Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest up to 100% of its assets in money market instruments, including repurchase agreements. When a Fund takes a temporary defensive position, it will not be investing according to its investment objective, and at such times, the performance of the Fund will be different than if it had invested strictly according to its objectives.

In order to achieve its investment objective, each Asset Allocation Fund typically allocates its assets, within predetermined percentage ranges, among certain of the Traditional Funds. Even so, the Asset Allocation Funds may temporarily exceed one or more of the applicable percentage limits for short periods. The percentages reflect the extent to which each Asset Allocation Fund will normally invest in the particular market segment represented by each underlying Traditional Fund, and the varying degrees of potential investment risk and reward represented by each Asset Allocation Fund's investments in those market segments and their corresponding Traditional Funds. The Funds' adviser may alter these percentage ranges when it deems appropriate. The assets of each Asset Allocation Fund will be allocated among the Traditional Funds in accordance with its investment objective, the Funds' adviser's outlook for the economy and the financial markets, and the relative market valuations of the Traditional Funds.

At the time an Asset Allocation Fund invests in any commercial paper or repurchase agreements, the issuer must have outstanding debt rated "A" or higher by Moody's or S & P; the issuer's parent corporation, if any, must have outstanding commercial paper rated Prime-1 by Moody's or A-1 by S & P; or, if no such ratings are available, the investment must be of comparable quality in the opinion of the Funds' adviser.

INTEREST RATE RISK

To the extent that a Traditional Fund invests in fixed income securities, the Traditional Fund will be exposed to interest rate risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices fall; the higher the Traditional Fund's duration (a calculation reflecting time risk, taking into account both the average maturity of the Traditional Fund's portfolio and its average coupon return), the more sensitive the Traditional Fund is to interest rate risk.

CREDIT RISK

To the extent that a Traditional Fund invests in fixed income securities, the Traditional Fund will be exposed to credit risk. A Traditional Fund could lose money if any bonds it owns are downgraded in credit rating or go into default. For this reason, the Traditional Funds will only invest in investment grade bonds.

ADDITIONAL EXPENSE AND TAX IMPLICATIONS

Investing in the Asset Allocation Funds involve certain additional expenses and tax results that would not be present in a direct investment in the Traditional Funds. See "Dividends and Distributions" and "Federal Taxes" in this Prospectus.

INVESTING IN THE FUNDS

DETERMINING SHARE PRICES

Shares of each Class of each Fund are offered at the public offering price for each share Class. The public offering price is each share's next calculated net asset value ("NAV"), plus the applicable sales charge, if any. NAV per share is calculated by adding the value of Fund investments, cash and other assets, subtracting Fund liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding. Each Fund generally determines the total value of its shares by using market prices for the securities comprising its portfolio. Securities for which quotations are not available and any other assets are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by each Fund's investment manager, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to the review and supervision of the Board of Trustees. Each Fund's per share NAV and public offering price is computed on all days on which the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") is open for business, at the close of regular trading hours on the NYSE, currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. In the event that the NYSE closes early, the share price will be determined as of the time of closing.

The Timothy Plan Money Market Fund will use the amortized cost method to compute its net asset value. This means that securities purchased by the Fund are not marked to market. Instead, any premium paid or discount realized will be amortized or accrued over the life of the security and credited/debited daily against the total assets of the Fund. This also means that, under most circumstances, the Fund will not sell securities prior to maturity date except to satisfy redemption requests.

23

CHOOSING THE CLASS OF SHARES THAT IS BEST FOR YOU

Except for the Money Market Fund, which offers only No-Load Shares, each Fund offers you a choice of two different share classes in which to invest. The main differences between each share Class are sales charges and ongoing fees. Both Classes of shares in any Fund represent interests in the same portfolio of investments in that Fund. When deciding which Class of shares to purchase, you should consider your investment goals, present and future amounts you may invest in the Fund(s), and the length of time you intend to hold your shares. You should consider, given the length of time you may hold your shares, whether the ongoing expenses of Class B shares will be greater than the front-end sales charge of Class A shares, and to what extent such differences may be offset by the higher dividends on Class A shares. Class A and Class B shares of the Asset Allocation Funds each may pay fees for shareholder administrative support services to broker-dealers and other financial organizations at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of that Class. Shareholder support services may include: assisting investors in processing purchase, exchange and redemption requests; processing dividend and distribution payments from the Funds; providing information periodically to customers showing their positions in Fund shares; providing sub-accounting; and forwarding sales literature and advertising. Over time, these fees will increase the cost of your investment. To help you make a determination as to which Class of shares to buy, please refer back to the examples of Fund expenses over time in the "Fees And Expenses" sections.

CLASS A SHARES

Class A shares are offered at their public offering price, which is net asset value per share plus the applicable sales charge. The sales charge varies, depending on which Fund you choose and how much you invest. There are no sales charges on reinvested distributions. For all Funds except the Fixed-Income Fund and the Money Market Fund, the following sales charges/(1)/ apply:

/(1)/ There are no sales charges on exchanges of A class shares of a Fund for Class A shares of any other Fund.

The Trust's distributor will pay the appropriate dealer concession to those selected dealers who have entered into an agreement with the distributor to sell shares of the Funds. The dealer's concession may be changed from time to time. The distributor may from time to time offer incentive compensation to dealers who sell shares of the Funds subject to sales charges, allowing such dealers to retain an additional portion of the sales load. A dealer who receives 90% or more of the sales load may be deemed to be an "underwriter" under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Exemptions from sales charges

Class A shareholders who purchased their shares on or before September 22, 1997 are not subject to sales charges on future purchases of Class A shares of any Timothy Plan Fund, including exchanges. Also, the Trust will waive sales charges on purchases of Class A Shares of any Timothy Plan Fund by:

1. fee-based registered investment advisers for their clients,
2. broker/dealers with wrap fee accounts,
3. registered investment advisers or brokers for their own accounts,
4. trustees, directors, officers, agents, employees, and employee-related accounts of the Trust or any entity which provides services to the Timothy Plan pursuant to a written agreement for such services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Timothy Plan, and
5. for an organization's retirement plan that places either (i) 200 or more participants or (ii) $300,000 or more of combined participant initial assets into the Funds. The Trust, in its sole discretion, may lower these minimums.

24

The Trust may also, in its sole discretion, waive sales charges on purchases of Class A Shares by:

1. religious organizations for themselves or their members,
2. religiously-based charitable organizations and foundations for themselves or their members, and/or
3. at times and under circumstances deemed appropriate by the Trust.

For purchasers that qualify for sales load waivers, shares will be purchased at net asset value.

25

Reduced sales charges

You may qualify for a reduced sales charge by aggregating the net asset value of all your load shares previously purchased in any Fund with the dollar amount of shares to be purchased. For example, if you already owned Class A or Class B shares in one or more of the Funds with an aggregate net asset value of $950,000, and you decided to purchase an additional $60,000 of Class A shares of any Fund, there would be no sales charge on that purchase because you had accumulated more than $1,000,000 in all Funds of the Trust.

Letter of intent

You can immediately qualify for a reduced or eliminated sales charge by signing a non-binding letter of intent stating your intention to buy an amount of shares in the Fund(s) during the next thirteen (13) months sufficient to qualify for the reduction. Your letter will not apply to purchases made more than 90 days prior to the letter. During the term of your letter of intent, the transfer agent will hold in escrow shares representing the highest applicable sales load for the Fund(s) in which you have purchased shares, each time you make a purchase. Any shares you redeem during that period will count against your commitment. If, by the end of your commitment term, you have purchased all the shares you committed to purchase, the escrowed shares will be released to you. If you have not purchased the full amount of your commitment, your escrowed shares will be redeemed in an amount equal to the sales charge that would apply if you had purchased the actual amount in your account(s) all at once. Any escrowed shares not needed to satisfy that charge would be released to you.

CLASS B SHARES

Unlike Class A shares, Class B shares are sold at net asset value, without an initial sales charge. Instead, a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC") is imposed on certain redemptions of Class B shares. This means that all of your initial investment is invested in the Fund(s) of your choice, and you will only incur a sales charge if you redeem shares within five years. In that case, a CDSC may be imposed on your redemption. If a CDSC is imposed, it will be imposed based on an amount equal to the lesser of the current market value or the cost of the shares redeemed. What this means is that no sales charge is imposed on increases in the net asset value of your shares above their original purchase price. Also, no charge is assessed on shares derived from reinvestment of dividend or capital gains distributions.

The amount of the CDSC, if any, varies depending on the number of years you have held your shares. To determine that time period, all purchases made in any month are aggregated together and deemed to have been made on the last day of the month. For Class B shares of each Fund, except the Money Market Fund, which does not offer Class B shares, the following CDSC charges/(1)/ apply:

Redemption Within                               CDSC Percentage

First Year.......................................... 5.00%
Second Year......................................... 4.00%
Third Year.......................................... 3.00%
Fourth Year......................................... 2.00%
Fifth Year.......................................... 1.00%
Sixth Year and Thereafter............................ None

/(1)/ There is no CDSC on exchanges of A class shares of a fund for Class A shares of any other Fund.

When you send a redemption request to the Trust, shares not subject to the CDSC are redeemed first, then shares that have been held the longest, and so on. That way, you will be subject to the smallest charge possible.

CDSC waivers

The CDSC is waived on redemptions of Class B shares (i) following the death or disability (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) of a shareholder (ii) in connection with certain distributions from an individual retirement account ("IRA") or other retirement plan (iii) pursuant to the Trust's Systematic Cash Withdrawal Plan or a lump-sum withdrawal, limited to a total of 10% per year of the initial value of the account, and (iv) pursuant to the right of a Fund to liquidate a shareholder's account.

Conversion feature

Class B shares automatically will convert to Class A shares once the economic equivalent of a 5.25% front-end sales charge has been received by a Fund, in the form of Rule 12b-1 distribution and service fees, paid by all Class B shares owned by the investor. Class B shares that convert to Class A shares are not subject to any additional front-end sales charges

26

DISTRIBUTION FEES

The Trust has adopted distribution and shareholder servicing plans, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), for each Class of Shares, for each Fund (the "Distribution Plans"). The Distribution Plans provide for fees to be deducted from the average net assets of the Funds in order to compensate TPL or others for expenses relating to the promotion and sale of shares of each Fund and the servicing of shareholder accounts.

Under the Class A Distribution Plan, the Class A shares of each Fund compensate TPL and others for distribution expenses at a maximum annual rate of 0.25% (of which, the full amount may be service fees), payable on a monthly basis, of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares.

Under the Class B Distribution Plan, the Class B Shares of the Fund compensate TPL and others for distribution and service fees at an annual rate of 1.00% (0.25% of which is a service fee) payable on a monthly basis, of each Fund's average daily net assets attributable to Class B shares. Amounts paid under the Class B Distribution Plan are paid to TPL and others to compensate them for services provided and expenses incurred in the distribution of Class B shares, including the paying of commissions for sales of Class B shares. The Class B Distribution Plan is designed to allow investors to purchase Class B shares without incurring a front-end sales load and to permit the distributor to compensate authorized dealers for selling such shares. Accordingly, the Class B Distribution Plan combined with the CDSC for Class B shares is to provide for the financing of the distribution of Class B shares.

Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

OPENING AND ADDING TO YOUR ACCOUNT

You can invest directly in each Fund by mail, by wire transfer, or through broker-dealers or other financial organizations. Simply choose the one that is most convenient for you. You may also invest in the Fund through an automatic payment plan. Any questions you may have can be answered by calling 1-800-662-0201.

Payments for Fund shares should be in U.S. dollars, and in order to avoid fees and delays, should be drawn on a U.S. bank. Please remember that the Trust reserves the right to reject any purchase order for Fund shares. Timothy Plan accepts personal checks made payable to the Timothy Plan. Unless pre-authorized by the Fund at the Fund's sole discretion, the Timothy Plan will not accept third party checks.

PURCHASES THROUGH FINANCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS

You may purchase shares of the Funds through participating brokers, dealers, and other financial professionals. Simply call your investment professional to make your purchase. If you are a client of a securities broker or other financial organization, such organizations may charge a separate fee for administrative services in connection with investments in Fund shares and may impose account minimums and other requirements.

If you are investing through a securities broker or other financial organization, please refer to its program materials for any additional special provisions or conditions that may be different from those described in this Prospectus (for example, some or all of the services and privileges described may not be available to you).

Contact your investment professional or call the Trust at 1-800 TIM-PLAN to receive information concerning your options.

30

OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION

Federal regulations require that you provide a certified taxpayer identification number whenever you open or reopen an account. Congress has mandated that if any shareholder fails to provide and certify to the accuracy of the shareholder's social security number or other taxpayer identification number, a company will be required to withhold a percentage, currently 31%, of all dividends, distributions and payments, including redemption proceeds, to such shareholder as a backup withholding procedure.

For economy and convenience, share certificates will not be issued.

The Timothy Plan wants you to be kept current regarding the status of your account in our Fund(s). To assist you, the following statements and reports will be sent to you:

Confirmation Statements       After every transaction that affects your account
                              balance or your account registration.

Account Statements            Quarterly.

FinancialReports              Semi-annually -- to reduce Fund expenses, only one
                              copy of the Fund report will be mailed to each
                              taxpayer identification number even if you have
                              more than one account in the Fund. Unless
                              requested to the contrary, the Annual and Semi
                              -Annual Reports will be householded, which means
                              that only one Report will be sent to an address in
                              which multiple investors reside or declare as
                              their address of record.

HOW TO SELL (REDEEM) YOUR SHARES

You may sell (redeem) your shares at any time. You may request the sale of your shares either by mail, by telephone or by wire.

BY MAIL

Sale requests should be mailed via U.S. mail or overnight courier service to:

The Timothy Plan
c/o Unified Fund Services, Inc.
431 North Pennsylvania Street
Indianapolis, Indiana 46204

The selling price for No-Load and Class A shares being redeemed will be the applicable Fund's per share net asset value next calculated after receipt of all required documents in "good order." The selling price for Class B shares being redeemed will be the Fund's per share net asset value next calculated after receipt of all required documents in "good order," less any applicable CDSC. Payment of redemption proceeds will be made no later than the third business day after the valuation date unless otherwise expressly agreed by the parties at the time of the transaction.

"Good order" means that the request must include:

(1) Your account number.
(2) The number of shares to be sold (redeemed) or the dollar value of the amount to be redeemed.
(3) The signatures of all account owners exactly as they are registered on the account.
(4) Any required signature guarantees.
(5) Any supporting legal documentation that is required in the case of estates, trusts, corporations or partnerships and certain other types of accounts.

If you are not certain of the requirements for a redemption please call customer service at 1-800-661-0201. Redemptions specifying a certain date or share price cannot be accepted and will be returned. You will be mailed the proceeds on or before the fifth business day following the redemption. However, payment for redemption made against shares purchased by check will be made only after the check has been collected, which normally may take up to fifteen calendar days. Also, when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any reason other than its customary weekend or holiday closing or under any emergency circumstances, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds may suspend redemptions or postpone payment dates.

Pursuant to the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, payment for shares redeemed may be made either in cash or in-kind, or partly in cash and partly in-kind. However, the Trust has elected, pursuant to Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, to redeem its shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the Trust, during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. Payments in excess of this limit will also be made wholly in cash unless the Board of Trustees

31

believes that economic conditions exist which would make such a practice detrimental to the best interests of the Trust. Any portfolio securities paid or distributed in-kind would be valued as described in the applicable prospectus. In the event that an in-kind distribution is made, a shareholder may incur additional expenses, such as the payment of brokerage commissions, on the sale or other disposition of the securities received from the Funds.

In-kind payments need not constitute a cross-section of a Fund's portfolio. Where a shareholder has requested redemption of all or a part of the shareholder's investment, and where a Fund completes such redemption in-kind, that Fund will not recognize gain or loss for federal tax purposes, on the securities used to complete the redemption. The shareholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the fair market value of the securities received and the shareholder's basis in the Fund shares redeemed.

32

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

A signature guarantee of each owner is required to redeem shares in the following situations, for all size transactions:

(i) if you change the ownership on your account;
(ii) when you want the redemption proceeds sent to a different address than is registered on the account;
(iii) if the proceeds are to be made payable to someone other than the account's owner(s);
(iv) any redemption transmitted by federal wire transfer to your bank; and
(v) if a change of address request has been received by the Trust or the Transfer Agent within 30 days previous to the request for redemption.
(vi) for joint accounts, both signatures must be guaranteed.

In addition, signature guarantees are required for all redemptions of $25,000 or more from any Fund shareholder account. At the discretion of the Trust or Unified Fund Services, Inc., you may be required to furnish additional legal documents to insure proper authorization. A redemption will not be processed until the signature guarantee, if required, is received in "good order."

Signature guarantees are designed to protect both you and the Trust from fraud. To obtain a signature guarantee, you should visit a bank, trust company, member of a national securities exchange or other broker-dealer, or other eligible guarantor institution. (Notaries public cannot provide signature guarantees.) Guarantees must be signed by an authorized person at one of these institutions, and be accompanied by the words "Gold Medallion Signature Guarantee." Please call customer service at 1-800-661-0201 if you have questions.

BY TELEPHONE

You may redeem your shares in the Fund(s) by calling the Transfer Agent at 1-800-662-0201 if you elected to use telephone redemption on your account application when you initially purchased shares. Redemption proceeds must be transmitted directly to you or to your pre-designated account at a domestic bank.

Shares purchased by check for which a redemption request has been received will not be redeemed until the check or payment received for investment has cleared.

BY AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE ("ACH")

You may request the redemption proceeds be transferred to your designated bank if it is a member bank or a correspondent of a member bank of the ACH system. There is no fee charged by the Trust. ACH redemption requests must be received by the Transfer Agent before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time to receive that day's closing net assets value. ACH redemptions will be sent on the day following your redemption request. ACH redemption funds are normally available two days after the redemption has been processed.

REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE TRUST

If the value of the shares in your account falls to less than $1000 due to redemptions, the Trust may notify you that, unless your account is increased to $1,000 in value, it will redeem all your shares and close the account by paying you the redemption proceeds and any dividends and distributions declared and unpaid at the date of redemption. You will have sixty days after notice to bring the account up to $1,000 before any action is taken. This minimum balance requirement does not apply to Coverdell Savings Accounts, IRAs and other tax-sheltered investment accounts. This right of redemption shall not apply if the value of your account drops below $1000 as the result of market action. The Trust reserves this right because of the expense to the Fund of maintaining very small accounts.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends paid by each Fund are derived from its net investment income. Net investment income will be distributed at least annually. The Fund's net investment income is made up of dividends received from the stocks it holds, as well as interest accrued and paid on any other obligations that might be held in the Fund's portfolio.

Each Fund realizes capital gains when it sells a security for more than it paid for it. A Fund may make distributions of its net realized capital gains (after any reductions for capital loss carry forwards), generally, once a year.

Unless you elect to have your distributions paid in cash, your distributions will be reinvested in additional shares of the applicable Fund. You may change the manner in which your dividends are paid at any time by writing to The Timothy Plan, c/o Unified Fund Services, Inc., 431 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204.

33

Receiving distributions (whether reinvested or taken in cash) may be taxable events as ordinary income and capital gains (which may be taxable at different rates, depending on the length of time the Fund holds its assets). Any tax liabilities generated by receiving distributions are your responsibility.

37

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

Timothy Partners Ltd. acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. The purpose of acting as an underwriter is to facilitate the notice filing of the Funds' shares under state securities laws and to assist in the sale of shares. TPL also acts as Investment Adviser to the Trust. TPL is not compensated for providing underwriting services to the Trust.

FEDERAL TAXES

The Trust intends to qualify and maintain its qualification as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), meaning that to the extent a fund's earnings are passed on to shareholders as required by the Code, the Trust itself is not required to pay federal income taxes on the earnings. Accordingly, each Fund will pay dividends and make such distributions as are necessary to maintain its qualification as a regulated investment company under the Code.

Before you purchase shares of any Fund, you should consider the effect of both dividends and capital gain distributions that are expected to be declared or that have been declared but not yet paid. When the Fund makes these payments, its share price will be reduced by the amount of the payment, so that you will in effect have paid full price for the shares and then received a portion of your price back as a taxable dividend distribution.

The Funds' distributions, whether received in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Fund, may be subject to Federal income tax. The Trust will notify you annually as to the tax status of dividend and capital gains distributions paid by the Funds. Such dividends and capital gains may also be subject to state and local taxes.

Exchanges of Fund shares for shares of another Fund will be treated as a sale of the Fund's shares, and any gain on the transaction may be subject to federal income tax. Because your state and local taxes may be different than the federal taxes described above, you should see your tax adviser regarding these taxes. The tax considerations described in this section do not apply to tax-deferred accounts or other non-taxable entities.

38

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The table below set forth financial data for one share of capital stock outstanding throughout each period presented.

The financial highlights table is intended to help you understand the Fund's financial performance for the past 5 years [or, if shorter, the period of the Fund's operations]. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned [or lost] on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by Tait, Weller & Baker, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, are included in the annual report, dated December 31, 2001, which is available upon request.

(the "Trust")

Prospectus May 1, 2002

This Prospectus offers the following Portfolio (the "Fund") of the Trust:

The Timothy Plan Small-Cap Variable Series

The Fund is intended to be a funding vehicle for Variable Annuity Contracts ("VA Contracts") offered through separate accounts of the Annuity Investors Life Insurance Company (the "Insurance Company").

The Timothy Plan was established to provide an investment alternative for people who want to invest according to certain ethical standards. The Funds established by the Trust invest in a different market segment, and each Fund has its own investment objectives. However, all the Funds have one thing in common. They do not invest in any company that is involved in the business of alcohol production, tobacco production or casino gambling, or which are involved, either directly or indirectly, in pornography or abortion.

The Funds are distributed through Timothy Partners, Ltd. 1304 West Fairbanks Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32789.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a crime.

RISK/RETURN SUMMARY

The Timothy Plan believes that it has a responsibility to invest in a moral and ethical manner. Accordingly, as a matter of fundamental policy, none of the Funds established by the Trust invests in any company that is involved in the business of alcohol production, tobacco production, or casino gambling, or which is involved, either directly or indirectly, in pornography or abortion. Such companies are referred to throughout this Prospectus as "Excluded Securities". Excluded Securities will not be purchased by any of our Funds. Timothy Partners Ltd. ("TPL") is the investment adviser to the Fund, and is responsible for determining those companies that are Excluded Securities.

Because none of our Funds will invest in Excluded Securities, the pool of securities from which each Fund may choose may be limited to a certain degree. Although TPL believes that each Fund can achieve its investment objective within the parameters of ethical investing, eliminating Excluded Securities as investments may have an adverse effect on a Fund's performance. However, "Total Return" is more than just numbers. It is also investing in a way that supports and reflects your beliefs and ideals. Each of our Funds strives to maximize both kinds of total return.

TIMOTHY PLAN SMALL-CAP VARIABLE SERIES

Investment objective

Long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income.

Primary investment strategies

. The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by primarily investing in US small-cap stocks and American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"). Small-Cap stocks is a reference to the common stock of smaller companies- companies whose total market capitalization is greater than $200 Million and less than $1 Billion. ADRs are certificates issued by United States banks to evidence an ownership interest in an underlying non-United States company's stock. ADRs generally trade on United States Stock Exchanges in the same way that American common stock trades.
. Small cap stocks, although more susceptible to price movements, also enjoy growth potential that is often not available for larger companies. As a result, prudent investing in smaller companies can result in greater capital growth than investing in larger companies.

Primary risks

1. General Risk- Like with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in the Fund. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.
2. Stock Market Risk- The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.
3. Small-Cap Stock Risk- The Fund invests in smaller companies. Smaller companies are particularly susceptible to price swings, because, due to their size, they often do not have the resources available to them that are available to larger companies.
4. Excluded Security Risk- Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities, the Fund may be riskier than other funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

Who should buy this Fund

The Fund is appropriate for investors who understand the risks of investing in the stock market and who are willing to accept moderate amounts of volatility and risk.

Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show the returns and risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's yearly performance over the lifetime of the Fund. They also compare the Fund's performance to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index** during each period. You should be aware that the Fund's past performance may not be an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

* From May 22, 1998 (commencement of operations). ** The Russell 2000 Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of 2000 small-capitalization companies in the United States. The Index assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and does not reflect any asset-based charges for investment management or other expenses.

Additional Investment Information
The Fund may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest up to 100% of its assets in obligations of the United States government, its agencies and instrumentalities, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit and bankers acceptances. When the Fund takes a temporary defensive position, it will not be investing according to its investment objective, and at such times, the performance of the Fund will be different that if it had invested strictly according to its objectives.

FEES AND EXPENSES

Investors using this Fund to fund a VA Contract will pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Fund, which are estimated in the table below. The Fund pays annual operating expenses from its assets, so their effect is included in the Portfolio's share price. These figures do not reflect any fees or charges imposed by the Insurance Company under its VA Contract. Owners of VA Contracts should refer to the Insurance Company's prospectus for information on those fees or charges.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) The Trust and the TPL have entered into an agreement with the participating life insurance company, pursuant to which the insurance company maintains the records related to the Portfolios' shares in the insurance company separate accounts, processes all purchases and redemptions within the accounts, and provides other administrative and shareholder services for an administrative services fee of 0.20% of the Fund's assets.
(2) The Adviser contractually has agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to keep the Fund's total annual operating expenses at 1.20% through the life of the fund. Any waiver or reimbursement by the Adviser is subject to repayment by the Fund within the following three fiscal years if the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding its current expense limitations.

Example:
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a Fund for the time periods indicated, reinvest dividends and distributions, and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

                      -------------------------------

The $9 fee that you would have to pay if you redeemed your shares by wire transfer is not included in these figures.

PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS OF SHARES

Purchases and Redemptions of Shares in the Fund may be made only by the Insurance Company for its separate accounts at the direction of VA Account owners. Please refer to the Prospectus of your VA Contract for information on how to direct investments in or redemptions from the Fund and any fees that may apply. Generally, the Insurance Company places orders for shares based on payments and withdrawal requests received from VA Contract owners during the day and places an order to purchase or redeem the net number of shares by the following morning. Orders are usually executed at the net asset value per share determined at the end of the business day that a payment or withdrawal request is received by the Insurance Company. There are no sales or redemption charges. However, certain sales or deferred sales charges and other charges may apply to your VA Contract. Those charges are disclosed in the separate account offering prospectus. The Trust reserves the right to suspend the offering of the Fund's shares, or to reject any purchase order.

Purchase orders for shares of the Fund which are received by the transfer agent in proper form prior to the close of trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on any day that the Fund calculates its net asset value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day. Purchase orders for shares of the Fund received after the close of the NYSE on a particular day are priced as of the time the net asset value per share is next determined.

Redemption proceeds will normally be wired to the Insurance Company on the next business day after receipt of the redemption instructions by the Fund, but in no event later than 7 days following receipt of instructions. The Fund may suspend redemptions or postpone payments when the New York Stock Exchange is closed or when trading is restricted for any reason (other than weekends or holidays) or under emergency circumstances as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other Purchase Information

If the Trustees determine that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of the Fund to make payments in cash, the Fund may pay the redemption price, in whole or in part by distribution in-kind of readily marketable securities, from the Fund, within certain limits prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such securities will be valued on the basis of the procedures used to determine the net asset value at the time of the redemption. If shares are redeemed in-kind, the redeeming shareholder will incur brokerage costs in converting the assets to cash.

For economy and convenience, share certificates will not be issued.

The public offering price for the Fund is based upon the Fund's net asset value per share. Net asset value per share is calculated by adding the value of the Fund's investments, cash and other assets, subtracting the Fund's liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding. The assets of the Fund are valued at market value or, if market quotes cannot be readily obtained, fair value is used as determined by the Board of Trustees. The net asset value of the Fund's shares is computed on all days on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business at the close of regular trading hours on the Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Fund securities listed or traded on a securities exchange for which representative market quotations are available will be valued at the last quoted sales price on the security's principal exchange on that day. Listed securities not traded on an exchange that day, and other securities which are traded in the over-the-counter markets, will be valued at the last reported bid price in the market on that day, if any. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available and all other assets will be valued at their respective fair market values as determined by the Fund's investment manager, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to the review of the Board of Trustees. Money market securities with less than 60 days remaining to maturity when acquired by the Fund will be valued on an amortized cost basis by the Fund, excluding unrealized gains or losses thereon from the valuation. This is accomplished by valuing the security at cost and then assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. If the Fund acquires a money market security with more than 60 days remaining to its maturity, it will be valued at amortized cost when it reaches 60 days to maturity unless the Trustees determine that such a valuation will not fairly represent its fair market value.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends paid by the Fund are derived from its net investment income. Net investment income will be distributed at least annually. The Fund's net investment income is made up of dividends received from the stocks it holds, as well as interest accrued and paid on any other obligations that might be held in its portfolio.

The Fund realizes capital gains when it sells a security for more than it paid for the security. The Fund may make distributions of its net realized capital gains (after any reductions for capital loss carry forwards), generally, once a year.

Under current tax law, dividends or capital gains distributions from the Fund are not currently taxable when left to accumulate within a VA Contract. Depending on the VA Contract, withdrawals from the Contract may be subject to ordinary income tax, and an additional penalty of 10% on withdrawals before age 59 1/2.

INVESTMENT ADVISER AND INVESTMENT MANAGER

INVESTMENT ADVISER

Individual companies are scrutinized concerning their individual growth prospects and their competitive positions within their respective industries. Individual company analysis focuses upon the outlook for sales, profit margins, returns on capital, cash flow and earnings per share.

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

Timothy Partners Ltd. ("TPL") acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. The purpose of acting as an underwriter is to facilitate the registration of the Fund's shares under state securities laws and to assist in the sale of Fund shares. TPL also acts as Investment Adviser to the Trust. TPL is not compensated for providing underwriting services to the Trust.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Total return for the Fund may be calculated on an average annual total return basis or an aggregate total return basis. Average annual total return reflects the average annual percentage change in value of an investment over the measuring period. Aggregate total return reflects the total percentage change in value of an investment over the measuring period. Both measures assume the reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

Total return of the Fund may be compared to those of mutual funds with similar investment objectives and to bond, stock or other relevant indices or to rankings prepared by independent services or other financial or industry publications that monitor mutual fund performance.

Prospectus May 1, 2002

This Prospectus offers the following Portfolios of The Timothy Plan (the "Trust"):

Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Portfolio Variable Series

Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series

The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Portfolio Variable Series ("Conservative Growth Portfolio") and the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series ("Strategic Growth Portfolio") (collectively, the "Portfolios") are intended to be funding vehicles for Variable Annuity Contracts ("VA Contracts") offered through separate accounts of the Annuity Investors Life Insurance Company (the "Insurance Company") as well as other insurance companies to the extent permitted by applicable laws.

The Timothy Plan was established to provide an investment alternative for people who want to invest according to ethical and moral standards. The Timothy Plan offers several mutual funds (the "Timothy Funds"), and the Portfolios invest in the Timothy Funds according to an asset allocation program. Each Timothy Fund invests in a different market segment, and each Timothy Fund has its own investment objectives. However, the Timothy Funds all have one thing in common:
they do not invest in any company that is involved in the business of alcohol production, tobacco production or casino gambling, or which is involved, either directly or indirectly, in pornography or abortion.

The Portfolios are distributed through Timothy Partners, Ltd. 1304 West Fairbanks Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32789.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved OR disapproved these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a crime.

RISK/RETURN SUMMARY

Each Portfolio invests in certain of the Timothy Funds according to an asset allocation program determined by Timothy Partners, Ltd., the Portfolios' Adviser. The Timothy Funds believe that they have a responsibility to invest in a moral and ethical manner. Accordingly, as a matter of fundamental policy, the Timothy Funds do not invest in any company that is involved in the business of alcohol production, tobacco production, or casino gambling, or that is involved, either directly or indirectly, in pornography or abortion. Securities issued by companies engaged in these prohibited activities are excluded from the Timothy Funds' portfolios and are referred to throughout this Prospectus as "Excluded Securities." Excluded Securities will not be purchased by the Timothy Funds. Timothy Partners, Ltd. acts as Adviser to the Portfolios and the Timothy Funds, and is responsible for determining those securities that are Excluded Securities.

Because the Timothy Funds will not invest in Excluded Securities, the pool of securities from which each Timothy Fund may choose could be limited to a certain degree. Although the Adviser believes that each Timothy Fund can achieve its investment objective within the parameters of ethical investing, eliminating Excluded Securities as investments may have an adverse effect on the Timothy Funds' performance, as well as the performance of the Portfolios. However, "total return" is more than just numbers. It is also investing in a way that supports and reflects your beliefs and ideals. The Portfolios will strive to maximize each type of total return.

THE BASICS ABOUT THE PORTFOLIOS

The Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio each attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in a diverse portfolio of the Timothy Funds according to an asset allocation strategy described below. The Portfolios offer you the opportunity to pursue two specially constructed asset allocation strategies.

TIMOTHY PLAN STRATEGIC GROWTH PORTFOLIO

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Strategic Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve medium to high levels of long-term capital growth. Current income is a consideration only to the extent that the Timothy Funds in which the Strategic Growth Portfolio invests seek current income.

PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Strategic Growth Portfolio normally will invest at least 90% of its assets in the following Timothy Funds according to the following approximated range of percentages:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Timothy Fund            % of Portfolio's Net Assets Invested in the Timothy Fund
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Small Cap Value Fund..................................................    15-20%
Large/Mid Cap Value Fund..............................................    20-25%
Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund.............................................    30-35%
Aggressive Growth Fund................................................    15-20%
Fixed Income Fund.....................................................     5-10%

The Strategic Growth Portfolio normally will invest its remaining cash, if any, in short-term U.S. government securities, money market securities, repurchase agreements and unaffiliated mutual funds.

The Adviser will determine the specific asset allocation program. On each day that the Strategic Growth Portfolio is open for business, the Adviser will review the asset allocation program and reallocate, as necessary, for any new funds invested in the Portfolio. The Adviser also will reallocate the Strategic Growth Portfolio's investments in the Timothy Funds at the end of each fiscal quarter to maintain the asset allocation program.

To ensure adequate diversity, the Strategic Growth Portfolio normally will invest at least 90% of its net assets in the five Timothy Funds described above. In addition, the Strategic Growth Portfolio will invest no more than 55% of its assets in one Timothy Fund, no more than 70% in two Timothy Funds, no more than 80% in three Timothy Funds and no more than 90% in four Timothy Funds at any time.

Because the Strategic Growth Portfolio invests in the Timothy Funds, it will bear indirectly its proportionate share of fees and expenses paid by the Timothy Funds, in addition to the fees and expenses payable directly by the Strategic Growth Portfolio. Therefore, the Portfolio will incur higher expenses, many of which may be duplicative. These indirect expenses are described in the fee table below.

PRIMARY RISKS

1. General Risk - As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in the Strategic Growth Portfolio. Share prices fluctuate from day to day and, when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.

2. Portfolio Risk - The Strategic Growth Portfolio is subject to all of the risks that are inherent in the Timothy Funds in which the Strategic Growth Portfolio invests:

. Stock Market Risk- The Small Cap Value Fund, the Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, the Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund and the Aggressive Growth Fund are subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.

. Mid Cap Stock Risk- Although the Large/Mid Cap Value Fund and the Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund generally invest in companies with larger market capitalizations (greater than $1 billion), they may also invest in medium size companies. Medium size companies may be more susceptible to price swings due to their size, because they often do not have the resources available to them that are available to larger companies.

. Small Cap Stock Risk- The Aggressive Growth Fund and the Small Cap Value Fund primarily invest in smaller companies. Smaller companies are particularly susceptible to price swings because, due to their size, they often do not have the resources available to them that are available to larger companies.

. Excluded Securities Risk- Because the Timothy Funds do not invest in Excluded Securities, each Fund may be riskier than other mutual funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

. Growth Risks- The Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund and the Aggressive Growth Fund invest in companies that appear to be growth-oriented companies. Growth companies are companies that the portfolio managers of these Funds believe will have revenue and earnings that grow faster than the economy as a whole, offering above-average prospects for capital appreciation and little or no emphasis on dividend income. If the portfolio manager's perceptions of a company's growth potential are wrong, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund's (and the Portfolio's) returns.

. Interest Rate Risk- When interest rates rise, bond prices fall. The higher the Fixed Income Fund's duration (a calculation reflecting time risk, taking into account both the average maturity of the Fund's portfolio and its average coupon return), the more sensitive the Fixed Income Fund is to interest rate risk.

. Credit Risk- The Fixed Income Fund could lose money if any bonds it owns are downgraded in credit rating or go into default. For this reason, the Fixed Income Fund will primarily invest in investment grade bonds.

. Sector Risk- In managing its portfolio, the Fixed Income Fund's portfolio manager concentrates on sector analysis, industry allocation and securities selection, deciding which types of bonds and industries to emphasize at a given time, and then which individual bonds to buy. If certain industry sectors or types of securities do not perform as well as the portfolio manager expects, the Fixed Income Fund's performance could suffer.

WHO SHOULD BUY THIS PORTFOLIO

The Strategic Growth Portfolio is appropriate for investors who understand the risks of investing in moderate- to aggressively-oriented equity funds and who wish to allocate their investments among multiple funds with a single investment.

PAST PERFORMANCE

The Strategic Growth Portfolio is being offered for the first time via this Prospectus. Accordingly, performance information about the Portfolio is not yet available.

TIMOTHY PLAN CONSERVATIVE GROWTH PORTFOLIO

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Conservative Growth Portfolio seeks moderate levels of long-term capital growth. Current income is a consideration only to the extent that the Timothy Funds in which the Conservative Growth Portfolio invests seek current income.

PRIMARY INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Conservative Growth Portfolio normally will invest at least 90% of its assets in the following Timothy Funds according to the following approximated range of percentages:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Timothy Fund            % of Portfolio's Net Assets Invested in the Timothy Fund
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Small Cap Value Fund..................................................    10-15%
Large/Mid Cap Value Fund..............................................    25-30%
Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund.............................................    20-25%
Fixed Income Fund.....................................................    20-25%
Money Market Fund.....................................................     5-10%

The Conservative Growth Portfolio normally will invest its remaining cash, if any, in short-term U.S. government securities, money market securities, repurchase agreements and unaffiliated mutual funds.

The Adviser will determine the specific asset allocation program. On each day that the Conservative Growth Portfolio is open for business, the Adviser will review the asset allocation program and reallocate, as necessary, for any new funds invested in the Portfolio. The Adviser also will reallocate the Conservative Growth Portfolio's investments in the Timothy Funds at the end of each fiscal quarter to maintain the asset allocation program.

To ensure adequate diversity, the Conservative Growth Portfolio will invest at least 90% of its net assets in the five Timothy Funds described above. In addition, the Conservative Growth Portfolio will invest no more than 55% of its assets in one Timothy Fund, no more than 70% in two Timothy Funds, no more than 80% in three Timothy Funds and no more than 90% in four Timothy Funds at any time.

Because the Conservative Growth Portfolio invests in the Timothy Funds, the Portfolio will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses paid by the Timothy Funds, in addition to the fees and expenses payable directly by the Portfolio. Therefore, the Portfolio will incur higher expenses, many of which may be duplicative. These indirect expenses are described in the fee table below.

PRIMARY RISKS

1. General Risk - As with most other mutual funds, you can lose money by investing in the Conservative Growth Portfolio. Share prices fluctuate from day to day, and when you sell your shares, they may be worth less than you paid for them.

2. Portfolio Risk - The Conservative Growth Portfolio is subject to all of the risks that are inherent in the Timothy Funds in which the Portfolio invests:

. Stock Market Risk- The Small Cap Value Fund, the Large/Mid CapValue Fund and the Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund are subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.

. Mid Cap Stock Risk- Although the Large/Mid Cap Value Fund and the Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund generally invest in companies with larger market capitalizations (greater than $1 billion), they may also invest in medium sized companies. Medium sized companies may be more susceptible to price swings, because, due to their size, they often do not have the resources available to them that are available to larger companies.

. Small Cap Stock Risk- The Small Cap Value Fund primarily invests in smaller companies. Smaller companies are particularly susceptible to price swings because, due to their size, they often do not have the resources available to them that are available to larger companies.

. Excluded Securities Risk- Because the Timothy Funds do not invest in Excluded Securities, each Fund may be riskier than other mutual funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

Each Portfolio may, for temporary defensive purposes, invest up to 100% of its assets in obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit and bankers acceptances. When a Portfolio takes a temporary defensive position, it will not be investing according to its investment objective, and at such times, the performance of the Portfolio will be different that if it had invested strictly according to its objectives.

FEES & EXPENSES

Investors using a Portfolio to fund a VA Contract will pay certain fees and expenses in connection with the Portfolio, which are estimated in the table below. Each Portfolio pays annual operating expenses from its assets, so their effect is included in the Portfolio's share price. These figures do not reflect any fees or charges imposed by the Insurance Company under its VA Contract. Owners of VA Contracts should refer to the Insurance Company's prospectus for information on those fees or charges.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

//(1)// Each Portfolio invests principally in the Timothy Funds. As a result, each Portfolio indirectly will pay its proportionate share of the fees and expenses paid by the Timothy Funds, in addition to the fees and expenses paid directly by the Portfolio. Under the current expense reimbursement arrangements for the Timothy Funds, the total annual operating expenses of the Timothy Funds in which the Portfolios invest range from 1.35% to 2.70% for the Strategic Growth Portfolio, and from 0.85% to 2.70% for the Conservative Growth Portfolio. These expenses will be borne by the Portfolios, and are not included in the expenses reflected in the table above or the example below.

//(2)// The Trust and the Adviser have entered into an agreement with the participating life insurance company, pursuant to which the insurance company maintains the records related to the Portfolios' shares in the insurance company separate accounts, processes all purchases and redemptions within the accounts, and provides other administrative and shareholder services for an administrative services fee of 0.25% of each Portfolio's assets.

//(3)// The Adviser contractually has agreed to waive all or a portion of its advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses in order to keep each Portfolio's total annual operating expenses at 0.85% through May 1, 2004. Any waiver or reimbursement by the Adviser is subject to repayment by the Portfolio within the following three fiscal years if the portfolio is able to make the repayment without exceeding its current expense limitations.

Example:

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in a Portfolio with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in a Portfolio for the time periods indicated, reinvest dividends and distributions, and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Portfolio's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

PURCHASES & REDEMPTIONS OF SHARES

Purchases and redemptions of shares in any of the Portfolios may be made only by the Insurance Company for its separate accounts at the direction of VA Contract owners. Please refer to the Prospectus of your VA Contract for information on how to direct investments in, or redemptions from, the Portfolios and any fees that may apply. Generally, the Insurance Company places orders for shares based on payments and withdrawal requests received from VA Contract owners during the day and places an order to purchase or redeem the net number of shares by the following morning. Orders are usually executed at the net asset value per share determined at the end of the business day during which a payment or withdrawal request is received by the Insurance Company. There are no sales or redemption charges. However, certain sales or deferred sales charges and other charges may apply to your VA Contract. Those charges are disclosed in the separate account offering prospectus. The Trust reserves the right to suspend the offering of any of the Portfolio's shares, or to reject any purchase order.

Purchase orders for shares of a Portfolio which are received by the transfer agent in proper form prior to the close of trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on any day that the Portfolios calculate their net asset value, are priced according to the net asset value determined on that day. Purchase orders for shares of a Portfolio received after the close of the NYSE on a particular day are priced as of the time the net asset value per share is next determined.

Redemption proceeds normally will be wired to the Insurance Company on the next business day after receipt of the redemption instructions, but in no event later than 7 days following receipt of instructions. The Portfolios may suspend redemptions or postpone payments when the NYSE is closed or when trading is restricted for any reason (other than weekends or holidays) or under emergency circumstances as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION

If the Board of Trustees determines that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of a Portfolio to make payments in cash, a Portfolio may pay the redemption price, in whole or in part by distribution in-kind of readily marketable securities, from that Portfolio, within certain limits prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such securities will be valued on the basis of the procedures used to determine the net asset value at the time of the redemption. If shares are redeemed in-kind, the redeeming shareholder will incur brokerage costs in converting the assets to cash.

For economy and convenience, share certificates will not be issued.

The public offering price for a Portfolio is based upon its net asset value per share. Net asset value per share of a Portfolio is calculated by adding the value of the Portfolio's investments, cash and other assets, subtracting the Portfolio's liabilities, and then dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding. The assets of each Portfolio are valued at market value or, if market quotes cannot be readily obtained, fair value is used as determined by the Board of Trustees. The net asset value of each Portfolio's shares is computed on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business at the close of regular trading hours on the Exchange, currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern time.

Each Portfolio purchases Class A Shares of the Timothy Funds at net asset value without any sales charges. With respect to securities owned by the Timothy Funds, securities listed or traded on a securities exchange for which representative market quotations are available will be valued at the last quoted sales price on the security's principal exchange on that day. Listed securities not traded on an exchange that day, and other securities which are traded in the over-the-counter markets, will be valued at the last reported bid price in the market on that day, if any. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available and all other assets will be valued at their respective fair market values as determined by the Adviser in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to the review of the Board of Trustees. Money market securities with less than 60 days

PROSPECTUS FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN PORTFOLIOS VARIABLE SERIES

remaining to maturity when acquired by a Timothy Fund or a Portfolio will be valued on an amortized cost basis, excluding unrealized gains or losses thereon from the valuation. This is accomplished by valuing the security at cost and then assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. If a Timothy Fund or a Portfolio acquires a money market security with more than 60 days remaining to its maturity, it will be valued at amortized cost when it reaches 60 days to maturity unless the Trustees determine that such a valuation will not fairly represent its fair market value.

DIVIDENDS & DISTRIBUTIONS

Dividends paid by a Portfolio are derived from its net investment income. Net investment income will be distributed at least annually. A Portfolio's net investment income is made up of dividends received from the stocks it holds, as well as interest accrued and paid on any other obligations that might be held in its portfolio.

A Portfolio realizes capital gains when it receives such a distribution from a Timothy Fund or sells shares of a Timothy Fund for more than it paid for it. A Portfolio may make distributions of its net realized capital gains (after any reductions for capital loss carry forwards), generally, once a year.

Under current tax law, dividends or capital gains distributions from a Portfolio are not currently taxable when left to accumulate within a VA Contract. Depending on the VA Contract, withdrawals from the Contract may be subject to ordinary income tax, and an additional penalty of 10% on withdrawals before age 59 1/2.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

For its services as investment advisor to the Portfolio, Timothy Partners receives an annual fee of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER

Timothy Partners does not receive any compensation for serving as underwriter of the Trust.

The Insurance Company is currently the only shareholder of the Portfolios.

THE TIMOTHY PLAN

The Timothy Plan ("Trust") was organized as a Delaware business trust on December 16, 1993, and is a mutual fund company of the type known as, and registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as, an open-end management investment company. It is authorized to create an unlimited number of series of shares (each a "Fund") and an unlimited number of share classes within each series. A mutual fund permits an investor to pool his or her assets with those of others in order to achieve economies of scale, take advantage of professional money managers and enjoy other advantages traditionally reserved for large investors. This SAI pertains to the following nine series of the Trust: the Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund, the Timothy Plan Large/Mid-Cap Growth Fund, the Timothy Plan Small-Cap Value Fund, the Timothy Plan Large/Mid-Cap Value Fund, the Timothy Plan Fixed-Income Fund, the Timothy Plan Money Market Fund, the Timothy Plan Small-Cap Variable Series, the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund, and the Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund. The shares of each series are fully paid and non-assessable. They are entitled to such dividends and distributions as may be paid with respect to the shares and shall be entitled to such sums on liquidation of the Fund as shall be determined. Other than these rights, they have no preference as to conversion, exchange, dividends, retirement or other features and have no preemption rights. There are three Classes of shares offered by the Trust; Class A shares are offered with a front-end sales charge and ongoing service/distribution fees; Class B shares are offered with a contingent deferred sales charge that declines over a period of years and ongoing service and distribution fees; and No-Load shares are offered without sales charges or ongoing service/distribution fees (the Timothy Plan Money Market Fund and the Timothy Plan Small-Cap Variable Series).

Shareholder meetings will not be held unless required by federal or state law.

THE TIMOTHY PLAN - INVESTMENTS

Each Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by making investments selected in accordance with that Fund's investment restrictions and policies. Each Fund will vary its investment strategy as described in the applicable prospectus to achieve its objectives. This SAI contains further information concerning the techniques and operations of the Funds, the securities in which they will invest, and the policies they will follow.

THE TIMOTHY PLAN FUNDS issue two classes of shares (Class A and Class B) that invest in the same portfolio of securities. Class A and Class B shares differ with respect to sales structure and 12b-1 Plan expenses.

THE MONEY MARKET FUND AND THE SMALL-CAP VARIABLE SERIES offer a single class of
shares, the No-Load class.

Each Fund has its own investment objectives and policies, and each invests in its own portfolio of securities. Each Fund seeks to achieve its stated objectives by investing in securities issued by companies which, in the opinion of the Funds' adviser, conduct business in accordance with the stated philosophy and principles of the Funds. The following information supplements the information provided in the prospectuses.

COMMON STOCK Common stock is defined as shares of a corporation that entitle the holder to a pro rata share of the profits of the corporation, if any, without a preference over any other shareholder or class of shareholders, including holders of the corporation's preferred stock and other senior equity. Common stock usually carries with it the right to vote, and frequently, an exclusive right to do so. Holders of common stock also have the right to participate in the remaining assets of the corporation after all other claims, including those of debt securities and preferred stock, are paid.

PREFERRED STOCK Generally, preferred stock receives dividends prior to distributions on common stock and usually has a priority of claim over common stockholders if the issuer of the stock is liquidated. Unlike common stock, preferred stock does not usually have voting rights; preferred stock, in some instances, is convertible into common stock. In order to be payable, dividends on preferred stock must be declared by the issuer's board of directors. Dividends on the typical preferred stock are cumulative, causing dividends to accrue even if not declared by the board of directors. There is, however, no assurance that dividends will be declared by the board of directors of issuers of the preferred stocks in which the Funds invest.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES Traditional convertible securities include corporate bonds, notes and preferred stocks that may be converted into or exchanged for common stock, and other securities that also provide an opportunity for equity participation. These securities are generally convertible either at a stated price or a stated rate (that is, for a specific number of shares of common stock or other security). As with other fixed income securities, the price of a convertible security to some extent varies inversely with interest rates. While providing a fixed income stream (generally higher in yield than the income derivable from a common stock but lower than that afforded by a non-convertible debt security), a convertible security also affords the investor an opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in the capital appreciation of the common stock into which it is convertible. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines, convertible securities tend to trade increasingly on a yield basis and so may not experience market value declines to the same extent as the underlying common stock. When the market price of the underlying common stock increases, the price of a convertible security tends to rise as a reflection of the value of the underlying common stock. To obtain such a higher yield, the Funds may be required to pay for a convertible security an amount in excess of the value of the underlying common stock. Common stock acquired by a Fund upon conversion of a convertible security will generally be held for so long as the Funds' adviser or the Fund's investment manager anticipates such stock will provide the Fund with opportunities which are consistent with the Fund's investment objectives and policies.

WARRANTS A warrant is an instrument issued by a corporation which gives the holder the right to subscribe to a specified amount of the issuer's capital stock at a set price for a specified period of time.

AMERICAN DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS ("ADRs") ADRs are receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company which evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. The Funds may purchase ADRs whether they are "sponsored" or "unsponsored." "Sponsored" ADRs are issued jointly by the issuer of the underlying security and a depository." "Unsponsored" ADRs are issued without participation of the issuer of the deposited security. The Funds do not consider any ADRs purchased to be foreign. Holders of unsponsored ADRs generally bear all the costs of such facilities. The depository of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights to the holders of such receipts in respect to the deposited securities. Therefore, there may not be a correlation between information concerning the issuer of the security and the market value of an unsponsored ADR. ADRs may result in a withholding tax by the foreign country of source which will have the effect of reducing the income distributable to shareholders. Because each Fund will not invest more than 50% of the value of its total assets in stock or securities issued by foreign corporations, it will be unable to pass through the foreign taxes that the Fund pays (or is deemed to pay) to shareholders under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER It is not the policy of any of the Funds to purchase or sell securities for short-term trading purposes, but the Funds may sell securities to recognize gains or avoid potential for loss. A Fund will, however, sell any portfolio security (without regard to the time it has been held) when the investment manager believes that market conditions, credit-worthiness factors or general economic conditions warrant such a step. The Asset Allocation Funds invest the majority of their assets in certain of the Traditional Funds, and are required to maintain certain investment ratios, which are adjusted at least quarterly. As a result, portfolio turnover for the Asset Allocation Funds could be substantial and could cause the Traditional Funds to also experience additional turnover problems. The portfolio turnover rate for each Fund is set forth in the table below:

The Timothy Plan Small-Cap Variable Series commenced operations in 1998. The Timothy Plan Large/Mid-Cap Value Fund, the Timothy Plan Fixed-Income Fund, and the Timothy Plan Money Market Fund commenced investment operations in 1999. The Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund, the Timothy Plan Large/Mid-Cap Growth Fund, the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund and the Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund commenced investment operations in 2000.

High portfolio turnover would involve additional transaction costs (such as brokerage commissions) which are borne by the Funds, or adverse tax effects.
(See "Dividends and Distributions" in the applicable prospectus.)

(1) The Aggressive Growth and Large/Mid Cap Growth Funds were first offered to the investing Public on October 4, 2000; their increased Portfolio turnovers were due to the initiation of buy and sale trading activities.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

In addition to those set forth in the current applicable prospectus, the Funds have adopted the investment restrictions set forth below, which are fundamental policies of each Fund, and which cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Fund. As provided in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares, or (ii) 67% or more of the shares present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. These investment restrictions provide that each Fund will not:

(1) issue senior securities;

(2) engage in the underwriting of securities except insofar as the Fund may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") in disposing of a portfolio security;

(3) purchase or sell real estate or interests therein, although the funds may each purchase debt instruments or securities of issuers which engage in real estate operations;

(4) invest for the purpose of exercising control or management of another company;

(5) purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases, rights or royalty contracts or exploration or development programs, except that the Funds may each invest in the debt instruments or securities of companies which invest in or sponsor such programs;

(6) invest more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets in one particular industry, except for temporary defensive purposes;

(7) make purchases of securities on "margin," or make short sales of securities, provided that each Fund may enter into futures contracts and related options and make initial and variation margin deposits in connection therewith; and

(8) invest in securities of any open-end investment company, except that each Fund may purchase securities of money market mutual funds, but such investments in money market mutual funds may be made only in accordance with the limitations imposed by the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, as amended. But in no event may a Fund purchase more than 10% of the voting securities, or more than 10% of any class of securities, of another investment company. For purposes of this restriction, all outstanding fixed income securities of an issuer are considered a single class.

(9) as to 75% of a Fund's total assets, invest more than 5% of its assets in the securities of any one issuer. (This limitation does not apply to cash and cash items, or obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities).

(10) purchase or sell commodities or commodity futures contracts, other than those related to stock indexes.

(11) make loans of money or securities, except (i) by purchase of fixed income securities in which a Fund may invest consistent with its investment objective and policies; or (ii) by investment in repurchase agreements.

(12) invest in securities of any company if any officer or trustee of the Funds or the Funds' adviser owns more than 0.5% of the outstanding securities of such company and such officers and trustees, in the aggregate, own more than 5% of the outstanding securities of such company.

(13) borrow money, except that each Fund may borrow from banks (i) for temporary or emergency purposes in an amount not exceeding the Fund's assets or (ii) to meet redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of portfolio securities, in an amount not to exceed 33% of the value of the Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made; and whenever borrowings by a fund, including reverse repurchase agreements, exceed 5% of the value of a fund's total assets, the Fund will not purchase any securities. Interest paid on borrowing will reduce net income.

(14) pledge, mortgage hypothecate, or otherwise encumber its assets, except in an amount up to 33% of the value of its net assets, but only to secure borrowing for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to effect redemptions, or

(15) purchase the securities of any issuer, if, as a result, more than 10% of the value of a Fund's net assets would be invested in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale ("restricted securities"), in securities for which there is no readily available market quotations, or in repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7 days, if all such securities would constitute more than 10% of a Fund's net assets.

So long as percentage restrictions are observed by a Fund at the time it purchases any security, changes in values of particular Fund assets or the assets of the Fund as a whole will not cause a violation of any of the foregoing restrictions.

The investment restrictions set forth below have been adopted by the Strategic Growth Fund and the Conservative Growth Fund as fundamental policies.

Each of the Strategic Growth and Conservative Growth Funds may not:

(1) purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (except this shall not prevent the Fund from purchasing or selling options or futures contracts or from investing in securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities);

(2) purchase or sell real estate including limited partnership interests, although it may purchase and sell securities of companies that deal in real estate and may purchase and sell securities that are secured by interests in real estate;

(3) make loans to any person, except loans of portfolio securities to the extent that no more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or repurchase agreements;

(4) (i) purchase more than 10% of any class of the outstanding voting securities of any issuer (except other investment companies as defined in the 1940 Act), and (ii) purchase securities of an issuer (except obligations of the U.S. government and its agencies and instrumentalities and securities of other investment companies as defined in the 1940 Act) if, as a result, with respect to 75% of its total assets, more than 5% of the Fund's total assets, at market value, would be invested in the securities of such issuer.

(5) issue senior securities (as defined in the 1940 Act) except as permitted by rule, regulation or order of the Securities and Exchange Commission;

(6) will not borrow, except from banks for temporary or emergency (not leveraging) purposes including the meeting of redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities in an aggregate amount not exceeding 30% of the value of the Fund's total assets (including the amount borrowed) at the time the borrowing is made; and whenever borrowings by a Fund, including reverse repurchase agreements, exceed 5% of the value of a Fund's total assets, the Fund will not purchase any securities;

(7) underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the Fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act in the disposition of restricted securities; and

(8) write or acquire options or interests in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development programs.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF THE ASSET ALLOCATION FUNDS

An Asset Allocation Fund will not be able to offset gains realized by one Traditional Fund in which such Asset Allocation Fund invests against losses realized by another Fund in which such Asset Allocation Fund invests. The Asset Allocation Fund's use of a fund-of-funds structure could therefore affect the amount, timing and character of distributions to shareholders.

Depending on an Asset Allocation Fund's percentage ownership in an underlying Traditional Fund both before and after a redemption, an Asset Allocation Fund's redemption of shares of such Traditional Fund may cause the Asset Allocation Fund to be treated as not receiving capital gain income on the amount by which the distribution exceeds the Asset Allocation Fund's tax basis in the shares of the underlying Traditional Fund, but instead to be treated as receiving a dividend taxable as ordinary income on the full amounts of the distribution. This could cause shareholders of the Asset Allocation Fund to recognize higher amounts of ordinary income than if the shareholders had held the shares of the underlying Traditional Funds directly.

CUSTODIAN

US Bank, 425 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, is custodian of the Funds' investments. The custodian acts as the Funds' depository, safe-keeps its portfolio securities, collects all income and other payments with respect thereto, disburses funds at the Funds' request and maintains records in connection with its duties.

ACCOUNTANTS

The firm of Tait, Weller & Baker, 8 Penn Center Plaza, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19103, has been selected as independent public accountants for the Funds for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. Tait, Weller & Baker performs an annual audit of the Funds' financial statements and provides financial, tax and accounting consulting services as requested.

ADMINISTRATOR

Unified Financial Services, Inc., 431 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, IN 46204 ("Unified"), provides Transfer Agent, Fund Accounting and certain Administrative services to the Trust pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement dated July 1, 1999.

Under the Administrative Services Agreement, Unified: (1) coordinates with the custodian and performs transfer agent services to the Funds; (2) coordinates with, and monitors, any third parties furnishing services to the Funds; (3) provides the Funds with necessary office space, telephones and other communications facilities and personnel competent to perform administrative and clerical functions; (4) supervises the maintenance by third parties of such books and records of the Funds as may be required by applicable federal or state law; (5) prepares or supervises the preparation by third parties of all federal, state and local tax returns and reports of the Funds required by applicable law;

Prior to July 1, 1999, Declaration Service Company, 555 North Lane, Suite 6160, Conshohoken, PA 19428, served as the Administrator. For the Trust's fiscal years ended December 31, 1999, 2000 and 2001, the Trust paid $146,604, $280,526, and $432,734.36 respectively, for administrative fees.

ALLOCATION OF PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE

The Funds' adviser and/or investment manager, when effecting the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the account of a Fund, will seek execution of trades either (i) at the most favorable and competitive rate of commission charged by any broker, dealer or member of an exchange, or (ii) at a higher rate of commission charges if reasonable in relation to brokerage and research services provided to the Fund or the investment manager by such member, broker, or dealer. Such services may include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following: information on the availability of securities for purchase or sale, statistical or factual information, or opinions pertaining to investments. A Funds' investment manager may use research and services provided to it by brokers and dealers in servicing all its clients; however, not all such services will be used by the investment manager in connection with the Fund. Brokerage may also be allocated to dealers in consideration of the each Fund's share distribution but only when execution and price are comparable to that offered by other brokers.

TPL, through the investment managers, is responsible for making the Funds' portfolio decisions subject to instructions described in the applicable prospectus. The Board of Trustees may however impose limitations on the allocation of portfolio brokerage.

Securities held by one Fund may also be held by another Fund or other accounts for which TPL or the investment manager serves as an adviser, or held by TPL or the investment manager for their own accounts. If purchases or sales of securities for a Fund or other entities for which they act as investment adviser or for their advisory clients arise for consideration at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be made, insofar as feasible, for the respective entities and clients in a manner deemed equitable to all. To the extent that transactions on behalf of more than one client of TPL or the investment manager during the same period may increase the demand for securities being purchased or the supply of securities being sold, there may be an adverse effect on price.

On occasions when TPL or an investment manager deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of one Fund or more Funds or other accounts, they may to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but will not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased for the Fund with those to be sold or purchased for the other Fund or accounts in order to obtain favorable execution and lower brokerage commissions. In that event, allocation of the securities purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by an investment manager in the manner it considers to be most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Funds and to such other accounts. In some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for a Fund.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Trust, the Funds' adviser, the investment managers and the Funds' underwriter have each adopted a Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The personnel subject to the Code are permitted to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Funds. You may obtain a copy of the Code of Ethics from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PURCHASE OF SHARES

The shares of the Timothy Plan Funds are continuously offered by the distributor. Orders will not be considered complete until receipt by the distributor of a completed account application form, and receipt by the custodian of payment for the shares purchased. Once both are received, such orders will be confirmed at the next determined net asset value per share, plus the applicable sales load for Class A shares (based upon valuation procedures described in the prospectuses), as of the close of business of the business day on which the completed order is received, normally 4 p.m. Eastern time. Completed orders received by the Funds after 4 p.m. will be confirmed at the next day's price.

TAX-DEFERRED RETIREMENT PLANS

Shares of the Timothy Plan Funds are available to all types of tax-deferred retirement plans such as individual retirement accounts ("IRAs"), employer-sponsored defined contribution plans (including 401(k) plans) and tax-sheltered custodial accounts described in Section 403(b)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualified investors benefit from the tax-free compounding of income dividends and capital gains distributions. The Timothy Plan Funds sponsor IRAs. Individuals, who are not active participants in an employer maintained retirement plan are eligible to contribute on a deductible basis to an IRA account. The IRA deduction is also retained for individual taxpayers and married couples with adjusted gross incomes not in excess of certain specified limits. All individuals who have earned income may make nondeductible IRA contributions to the extent that they are not eligible for a deductible contribution. Income earned by an IRA account will continue to be tax deferred.

A special IRA program is available for employers under which the employers may establish IRA accounts for their employees in lieu of establishing tax qualified retirement plans. Known as SEP-IRAs (Simplified Employee Pension-IRA), they free the employer of many of the record keeping requirements of establishing and maintaining a tax qualified retirement plan trust.

If you are entitled to receive a distribution from a qualified retirement plan, you may rollover all or part of that distribution into a Timothy Plan Fund IRA. Your rollover contribution is not subject to the limits on annual IRA contributions. You can continue to defer federal income taxes on your contribution and on any income that is earned on that contribution.

The Timothy Plan Funds also sponsor 403(b)(7) retirement plans. The Funds offer a plan for use by schools, hospitals, and certain other tax-exempt organizations or associations who wish to use shares of the Timothy Plan Funds as a funding medium for a retirement plan for their employees (the "403(b)(7) Plan"). Contributions are made to the 403(b)(7) Plan as a reduction to the employee's regular compensation. Such contributions, to the extent they do not exceed applicable limitations, are excludable from the gross income of the employee for federal income tax purposes.

The Timothy Plan Funds also offer Roth IRAs. While contributions to a Roth IRA are not currently deductible, the amounts within the accounts accumulate tax-free and qualified distributions will not be included in a shareholder's taxable income. The current contribution limit is $3,000 annually ($6,000 for joint returns) in aggregate with contributions to traditional IRAs. Certain income phase-outs apply.

In all these plans, distributions of net investment income and capital gains will be automatically reinvested.

All the foregoing retirement plan options require special plan documents. Please call the Timothy Plan at (800) TIM-PLAN (800-846-7526) to obtain information regarding the establishment of retirement plan accounts. In the case of IRAs and
403(b)(7) Plans, Unified Financial Securities, Inc. acts as the plan custodian and charges $15.00 per social security number and account type in connection with plan establishment and maintenance. These fees are detailed in the plan documents. You should consult with your attorney or other tax advisor for specific advice prior to establishing a plan.

TAX-DEFERRED VARIABLE ANNUITY SERIES

The Timothy Plan Small-Cap Variable Series currently only offer their shares to the Annuity Investors Life Insurance Company. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Timothy Variable Funds in accordance with the allocation instructions received from holders of the VA contracts. Shares of the Timothy Variable Funds are sold at net asset value as described in that Fund's Prospectus.

REDEMPTIONS

The redemption price will be based upon the net asset value per share (subject to any applicable CDSC for Class B shares) next determined after receipt of the redemption request, provided it has been submitted in the manner described below. The redemption price may be more or less than your cost, depending upon the net asset value per share at the time of redemption. Class B shares of the Timothy Plan Funds may be redeemed through certain brokers, financial institutions or service organizations, banks and bank trust departments who may charge a transaction fee or other fee for their services at the time of redemption. Such fees would not otherwise be charged if the shares were purchased directly from the Timothy Plan Funds.

Payment for shares tendered for redemption is made by check within seven days after tender in proper form, except that the Funds reserve the right to suspend the right of redemption, or to postpone the date of payment upon redemption beyond seven days: (i) for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is restricted, (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as determined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of which disposal of securities owned by the Funds is not reasonably predictable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Funds fairly to determine the value of its net assets, or (iii) for such other periods as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of shareholders of the Funds.

Pursuant to the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, payment for shares redeemed may be made either in cash or in-kind, or partly in cash and partly in-kind. However, the Trust has elected, pursuant to Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, to redeem its shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the Trust, during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. Payments in excess of this limit will also be made wholly in cash unless the Board of Trustees believes that economic conditions exist which would make such a practice detrimental to the best interests of the Trust. Any portfolio securities paid or distributed in-kind would be valued as described in the applicable prospectus. In the event that an in-kind distribution is made, a shareholder may incur additional expenses, such as the payment of brokerage commissions, on the sale or other disposition of the securities received from the Funds.

In-kind payments need not constitute a cross-section of a Fund's portfolio. Where a shareholder has requested redemption of all or a part of the shareholder's investment, and where a Fund completes such redemption in-kind, that Fund will not recognize gain or loss for federal tax purposes, on the securities used to complete the redemption. The shareholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the fair market value of the securities received and the shareholder's basis in the Fund shares redeemed.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS

The officers conduct and supervise the daily business operations of the Funds, while the Trustees, in addition to functions set forth under "Investment Adviser," "Investment Manager," and "Underwriter," review such actions and decide on general policy. Compensation to officers and Trustees of the Funds who are affiliated with TPL is paid by TPL, and not by the Fund. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Timothy Plan Funds did not pay compensation to any of its Trustees.

The Trust has an Audit Committee composed of the following independent Trustees:
Messrs. Pennington, Fyler, Nelson, Minnella, and Dodson. The Audit Committee met two times during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The function of the Audit Committee is to oversee the Trust's accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and internal controls.

STATMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN OF FUNDS

DISTRIBUTION PLANS

The Trust has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (collectively, the "Plans") for each Share Class offered by a Fund (other than the Money Market Fund and the Small-Cap Variable Series) whereby the Fund may pay up to a maximum of 0.25% for Class A shares, and up to a maximum of 1.00% for Class B shares (of which, up to 0.25% may be service fees to be paid by each respective class of shares to TPL, dealers and others, for providing personal service and/or maintaining shareholder accounts) per annum of its average daily net assets for expenses incurred by the Underwriter in the distribution of the Timothy Plan Funds' shares. The fees are paid on a monthly basis, based on a Fund's average daily net assets attributable to such class of shares.

Pursuant to the Plans, TPL, as underwriter, is paid a fee each month (up to the maximum of 0.25% for Class A shares and 1.00% for Class B shares per annum of average net assets of each Timothy Plan Fund) for expenses incurred in the distribution and promotion of the shares, including but not limited to, printing of prospectuses and reports used for sales purposes, preparation and printing of sales literature and related expenses, advertisements, and other distribution-related expenses as well as any distribution or service fees paid to securities dealers or others who have executed a dealer agreement with the underwriter. Any expense of distribution in excess of 0.25% for Class A shares or 1.00% for Class B shares per annum will be borne by TPL without any additional payments by the Fund. You should be aware that it is possible that Plan accruals will exceed the actual expenditures by TPL for eligible services. Accordingly, such fees are not strictly tied to the provision of such services.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, TPL was compensated for distribution-related expenses by the Funds as follows:

--------------------------------------------------
Name of Fund                Class A   Class B/(1)/

--------------------------------------------------
Conservative Growth Fund    $ 6,373    $ 19,768
--------------------------------------------------

/(1)/ Includes .25% service fee.

The Plans also provide that to the extent that the Funds, TPL, the investment managers, or other parties on behalf of the Funds, TPL, or the investment managers make payments that are deemed to be payments for the financing of any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of shares issued by the Funds within the context of Rule 12b-1, such payments shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the Plans. In no event shall the payments made under the Plans, plus any other payments deemed to be made pursuant to the Plans, exceed the amount permitted to be paid pursuant to the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., Rule 2830.

The Board of Trustees has determined that a consistent cash flow resulting from the sale of new shares is necessary and appropriate to meet redemptions and to take advantage of buying opportunities without having to make unwarranted liquidations of portfolio securities. The Board therefore believes that it will likely benefit the Funds to have moneys available for the direct distribution activities of the Underwriter in promoting the sale of the Funds' shares, and to avoid any uncertainties as to whether other payments constitute distribution expenses on behalf of the Funds. The Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, have concluded that in the exercise of their reasonable business judgment and in light of their fiduciary duties, there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plans will benefit the Funds and their shareholders.

The Plans have been approved by the Board of Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are non-interested persons as defined in the 1940 Act. The Plans must be renewed annually by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are non-interested persons of the Funds and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plans. The votes must be cast in person at a meeting called for that purpose. It is also required that the selection and nomination of such Trustees be done by the non-interested Trustees. The Plans and any related agreements may be terminated at any time, without any penalty: 1) by vote of a majority of the non-interested Trustees on not more than 60 days' written notice, 2) by the Underwriter on not more than 60 days' written notice, 3) by vote of a majority of a Fund's outstanding shares, on 60 days' written notice, and 4) automatically by any act that terminates the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter. The Underwriter or any dealer or other firm may also terminate their respective agreements at any time upon written notice.

The Plans and any related agreement may not be amended to increase materially the amounts to be spent for distribution expenses without approval by a majority of a Fund's outstanding shares, and all material amendments to the Plans or any related agreements shall be approved by a vote of the non-interested Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on any such amendment.

The Underwriter is required to report in writing to the Board of Trustees of the Funds, at least quarterly, on the amounts and purpose of any payment made under the Plans, as well as to furnish the Board with such other information as may reasonably be requested in order to enable the Board to make an informed determination of whether the Plans should be continued.

TAXATION

The Timothy Plan Funds intend to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

In order to so qualify, a Fund must, among other things (i) derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale of securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including but not limited to gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies; (ii) distribute at least 90% of its dividends, interest and certain other taxable income each year; and (iii) at the end of each fiscal quarter maintain at least 50% of the value of its total assets in cash, government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities of issuers which represent, with respect to each issuer, no more than 5% of the value of a Fund's total assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and with no more than 25% of its assets invested in the securities (other than those of the government or other regulated investment companies) of any one issuer or of two or more issuers which a Fund controls and which are engaged in the same, similar or related trades and businesses.

To the extent each Fund qualifies for treatment as a regulated investment company, it will not be subject to federal income tax on income and net capital gains paid to shareholders in the form of dividends or capital gains distributions.

An excise tax at the rate of 4% will be imposed on the excess, if any, of each Fund's "required distributions" over actual distributions in any calendar year. Generally, the "required distribution" is 98% of a Fund's ordinary income for the calendar year plus 98% of its capital gain net income recognized during the one-year period ending on December 31 plus undistributed amounts from prior years. Each Fund intends to make distributions sufficient to avoid imposition of the excise tax. Distributions declared by a Fund during October, November or December to shareholders of record during such month and paid by January 31 of the following year will be taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which they are declared, rather than the calendar year in which they are received.

If shares of a Fund are purchased within 30 days before or after redeeming other shares of the Fund at a loss, all or a portion of that loss will not be deductible and will increase the basis of the newly purchased shares.

Shareholders will be subject to federal income taxes on distributions made by a Fund whether received in cash or additional shares of the Fund. Distributions of net investment income and net short-term capital gains, if any, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions of net long-term capital gains, if any, will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains, without regard to how long a shareholder has held shares of the Fund. A loss on the sale of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain dividend paid to the shareholder with respect to such shares. A redemption of a Fund's shares will result in a taxable gain or loss to the redeeming shareholder, depending on whether the redemption proceeds are more or less than the shareholder's adjusted basis for the redeemed shares (which normally includes any sales charge paid on Class A shares). An exchange of shares of any Fund for shares of another Fund generally will have similar tax consequences. However, special rules apply when a shareholder disposes of Class A shares of a Fund through a redemption or exchange within 90 days after purchase thereof and subsequently reacquires Class A shares of that Fund or of another Timothy Plan Fund without paying a sales charge due to the 90-day reinstatement or exchange privileges. In these cases, any gain on the disposition of the original Class A shares will be increased, or loss decreased, by the amount of the sales charge paid when those shares were acquired, and that amount will increase the basis of the shares subsequently acquired. In addition, if shares of a Fund are purchased (whether pursuant to the reinstatement privilege or otherwise) within 30 days before or after redeeming other shares of that Fund (regardless of class) at a loss, all or a portion of that loss will not be deductible and will increase the basis of the newly purchased shares. Dividends eligible for designation under the dividends received deduction and paid by a Fund may qualify in part for the 70% dividends received deduction for corporations provided, however, that those shares have been held for at least 45 days.

The Trust will notify shareholders each year of the amount of dividends and distributions, including the amount of any distribution of long-term capital gains, and the portion of its dividends which may qualify for the 70% deduction.

By law, each Fund must withhold a percentage (30% during calendar year 2002 and 2002) of your taxable distributions and proceeds ("backup withholding") if you do not provide your correct social security or taxpayer identification number, or if the IRS instructs the Fund to do so. The withholding provision generally does not apply to nonresident aliens. Ordinarily, distributions and redemption proceeds earned by a Fund's Shareholders are not subject to withholding of federal income tax. However, if a shareholder fails to furnish a tax identification number or social security number, or certify under penalties of perjury that such number is correct, the Fund may re required to withhold federal income tax from all dividend, capital gain and/or redemption payments to such shareholder. Dividends and capital gain distributions may also be subject to back withholding if a shareholder fails to certify under penalties of perjury that such shareholder is not subject to back withholding due to the underreporting of certain income. These certifications are contained in the purchase application enclosed with the Prospectus.

The foregoing is a general and abbreviated summary of the applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury regulations currently in effect. For the complete provisions, reference should be made to the pertinent Code sections and regulations. The Code and regulations are subject to change by legislative or administrative action at any time, and retroactively.

Each Class of shares of the Timothy Plan Funds will share proportionately in the investment income and expenses of that Fund, except that each class will incur different distribution expenses.

Dividends and distributions also may be subject to state and local taxes.

Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding specific questions as to federal, state and local taxes.

STATMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN OF FUNDS

PERFORMANCE

Performance information for the shares of the Timothy Plan Funds will vary due to the effect of expense ratios on the performance calculations.

Current yield and total return may be quoted in advertisements, shareholder reports or other communications to shareholders. Yield is the ratio of income per share derived from a Fund's investments to a current maximum offering price expressed in terms of percent. The yield is quoted on the basis of earnings after expenses have been deducted. Total return is the total of all income and capital gains paid to shareholders, assuming reinvestment of all distributions, plus (or minus) the change in the value of the original investment, expressed as a percentage of the purchase price. Occasionally, a Fund may include their distribution rates in advertisements. The distribution rate is the amount of distributions per share made by a Fund over a 12-month period divided by the current maximum offering price.

U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") rules require the use of standardized performance quotations or, alternatively, that every non-standardized performance quotation furnished by a Fund be accompanied by certain standardized performance information computed as required by the Commission. Current yield and total return quotations used by a Fund are based on the standardized methods of computing performance mandated by the Commission. An explanation of those and other methods used by the Funds to compute or express performance follows.

As the following formula indicates, the average annual total return is determined by multiplying a hypothetical initial purchase order of $1,000 by the average annual compound rate of return (including capital appreciation/depreciation and dividends and distributions paid and reinvested) for the stated period less any fees charged to all shareholder accounts and annualizing the result. The calculation assumes the maximum sales load is deducted from the initial $1,000 purchase order and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested at the net asset value on the reinvestment dates during the period. The quotation assumes the account was completely redeemed at the end of each one, five and ten-year period and assumes the deduction of all applicable charges and fees. According to the Commission formula:

                                             P(1+T)n = ERV
Where:                                 P  =  a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
                                       T  =  average annual total return.
                                       N  =  number of years.
                                     ERV  =  ending redeemable value of a
                                             hypothetical $1,000 payment made at
                                             the beginning of the one, five or
                                             ten-year periods, determined at the
                                             end of the one, five or ten-year
                                             periods (or fractional portion
                                             thereof).

The advertised after-tax returns for a class of a fund are calculated by equaling an initial amount invested in a class of a fund to the ending value, according to the following formulas :

After taxes on Distributions: P(1+T)n = ATVD

After Taxes on Distributions and Redemption: P(1+T)n - ATVDR

Where                                  P  =  a hypothetical initial payment of $1000
                                       T  =  average annual return (after
                                             taxes on distributions or after
                                             taxes on distributions and
                                             redemptions as applicable
                                       n  =  number of years
                                    ATVD  =  ending value of a hypothetical
                                             $1000 payment made at the beginning
                                             of the 1-, 5-, or 10-year periods
                                             at the end of the 1-, 5-, or
                                             10-year periods (or fractional
                                             portion), after taxes on

A fund's "yield" is determined in accordance with the method defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. A yield quotation is based on a 30 day (or one month) period and is computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the period by the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period, according to the following formula:

                                             Yield = 2[(a-b/cd+1)6 - 1]

Where:                                 a  =  dividends and interest earned during the period
                                       b  =  expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements)
                                       c  =  the average daily number of shares outstanding during the period that were entitled to
                                             receive dividends
                                       d  =  the maximum offering price per share on the last day of the period

Solely for the purpose of computing yield, dividend income recognized by accruing 1/360 of the stated dividend rate of the security each day that a fund owns the security. Generally, interest earned (for the purpose of "a" above) on debt obligations is computed by reference to the yield to maturity of each obligation held based on the market value of the obligation (including actual accrued interest) at the close of business on the last business day prior to the start of the 30-day (or one month) period for which yield is being calculated, or, with respect to obligations purchased during the month, the purchase price (plus actual accrued interest). With respect to the treatment of discount and premium on mortgage or other receivable-backed obligations which are expected to be subject to monthly paydowns of principal and interest, gain or loss attributable to actual monthly paydowns is accounted for as an increase or decrease to interest income during the period and discount or premium on the remaining security is not amortized.

COMPARISONS AND ADVERTISEMENTS

To help investors better evaluate how an investment in a Fund might satisfy their investment objective, advertisements regarding the Fund may discuss total return for the Fund as reported by various financial publications. Advertisements may also compare total return to total return as reported by other investments, indices, and averages. The following publications, indices, and averages may be used:

Lipper Mutual Fund Performance Analysis; Lipper Mutual Fund Indices; CDA Weisenberger; and
Morningstar

From time to time, a Fund may also include in sales literature and advertising (including press releases) TPL comments on current news items, organizations which violate the Funds' philosophy (and are screened out as unacceptable portfolio holdings), channels of distribution and organizations which endorse the Funds as consistent with their philosophy of investment.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Trust's financial statements, including the notes thereto, dated December 31, 2001, which have been audited by Tait, Weller & Baker, are incorporated by reference from the Timothy Plan's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN VARIABLE SERIES

THE TIMOTHY PLAN

The Timothy Plan ("Trust") was organized as a Delaware business trust on December 16, 1993. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an open-end management investment company, and is authorized to create an unlimited number of series of shares and an unlimited number of share classes within each series. A mutual fund permits an investor to pool his or her assets with those of others in order to achieve economies of scale, take advantage of professional money managers and enjoy other advantages traditionally reserved for large investors.

The Trust currently offers several portfolios of shares, two of which are: the Timothy Plan Conservative Growth PortfolioVariable Series ("Conservative Growth Portfolio") and the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth PortfolioVariable Series ("Strategic Growth Portfolio"). This Statement of Additional Information applies to the Portfolios only. Each Portfolio offers a single class of shares without any sales charges or ongoing sales or distribution fees. The Portfolios' shares are only offered to insurance companies for the purpose of funding variable annuity contracts ("VA Contracts"). Presently the Portfolios are only offered through separate accounts of the Annuity Investors Life Insurance Company (the "Insurance Company"). The Trust has filed an Application for Exemptive Order with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which, if approved, will allow the Portfolios to be offered through the separate accounts of multiple insurance companies.

The Portfolios' shares are fully paid and non-assessable. They are entitled to such dividends and distributions as may be paid with respect to the shares and shall be entitled to such sums on liquidation of each Portfolio as shall be determined. Other than these rights, they have no preference as to conversion, exchange, dividends, retirement or other features and have no preemption rights.

Shareholder meetings will not be held unless required by federal or state law or in connection with an undertaking given by a Portfolio.

Each Portfolio seeks to achieve its objective by making investments selected in accordance with that Portfolio's investment restrictions and policies. Each Portfolio invests primarily in Class A Shares of other portfolios of the Trust (the "Timothy Funds"), without sales charges. Each Portfolio will vary its investment strategy as described in the prospectus to achieve its objectives. This Statement of Additional Information contains further information concerning the techniques and operations of the Portfolios, the securities in which they or the underlying Timothy Funds may invest, and the policies they will follow.

Each Portfolio has its own investment objective and policies, and each invests in its own portfolio of securities. Each Portfolio seeks to achieve its stated objective by investing primarily in the Timothy Funds. The Timothy Funds invest in securities issued by companies which, in the opinion of the Adviser, Timothy Partners, Ltd., conduct business in accordance with the stated philosophy and principles of The Timothy Funds. The following information supplements the information provided in the prospectus. The Portfolios may each invest in the following securities directly, or indirectly by investing in the Timothy Funds.

COMMON STOCK Common stock is defined as shares of a corporation that entitle the holder to a pro rata share of the profits of the corporation, if any, without a preference over any other shareholder or class of shareholders, including holders of the corporation's preferred stock and other senior equity. Common stock usually carries with it the right to vote, and frequently, an exclusive right to do so. Holders of common stock also have the right to participate in the remaining assets of the corporation after all other claims, including those of debt securities and preferred stock, are paid.

PREFERRED STOCK Generally, preferred stock receives dividends prior to distributions on common stock and usually has a priority of claim over common stockholders if the issuer of the stock is liquidated. Unlike common stock, preferred stock does not usually have voting rights; preferred stock, in some instances, is convertible into common stock. In order to be payable, dividends on preferred stock must be declared by the issuer's Board of Directors. Dividends on the typical preferred stock are cumulative, causing dividends to accrue even if not declared by the Board of Directors. There is, however, no assurance that dividends will be declared by the Board of Directors of issuers of the preferred stocks in which the Portfolios or the Timothy Funds invest.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES Traditional convertible securities include corporate bonds, notes and preferred stocks that may be converted into or exchanged for common stock, and other securities that also provide an opportunity for equity participation. These securities are generally convertible either at a stated price or a stated rate (that is, for a specific number of shares of common stock or other security). As with other fixed income securities, the price of a convertible security to some extent varies inversely with interest rates. While providing a fixed-income stream (generally higher in yield than the income derivable from a common stock but lower than that afforded by a non-convertible debt security), a convertible security also affords the investor an opportunity, through its conversion feature, to participate in the capital appreciation of the common stock into which it is convertible. As the market price of the underlying common stock declines, convertible securities tend to trade increasingly on a yield basis and so may not experience market value declines to the same extent as the underlying common stock. When the market price of the underlying common stock increases, the price of a convertible security tends to rise as a reflection of the value of the underlying common stock. To obtain such a higher yield, a Portfolio or Fund may be required to pay for a convertible security an amount in excess of the value of the underlying common stock. Common stock acquired by a Portfolio or Fund upon conversion of a convertible security will generally be held for so long as the adviser anticipates such stock will provide the Portfolio or Fund with opportunities which are consistent with its investment objectives and policies.

WARRANTS A warrant is an instrument issued by a corporation which gives the holder the right to subscribe to a specified amount of the issuer's capital stock at a set price for a specified period of time.

AMERICAN DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS ("ADRs") ADRs are receipts typically issued by a U.S. bank or trust company which evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. The Portfolios or Funds may purchase ADRs whether they are "sponsored" or "unsponsored." "Sponsored" ADRs are issued jointly by the issuer of the underlying security and a depository. "Unsponsored" ADRs are issued without participation of the issuer of the deposited security. The Portfolios or Funds do not consider any ADRs purchased to be foreign. Holders of unsponsored ADRs generally bear all the costs of such facilities. The depository of an unsponsored facility frequently is under no obligation to distribute shareholder communications received from the issuer of the deposited security or to pass through voting rights to the holders of such receipts in respect to the deposited securities. Therefore, there may not be a correlation between information concerning the issuer of the security and the market value of an unsponsored ADR. ADRs may result in a withholding tax by the foreign country of source which will have the effect of reducing the income distributable to shareholders. Because each Timothy Fund will not invest more than 50% of the value of its total assets in stock or securities issued by foreign corporations, it will be unable to pass through the foreign taxes that Fund pays (or is deemed to pay) to shareholders under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

In addition to those set forth in the Portfolios' current prospectus, the Portfolios have adopted the investment restrictions set forth below, which are fundamental policies of each Portfolio, and which cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each Portfolio. As provided in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), a "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities" means the affirmative vote of the lesser of (i) more than 50% of the outstanding shares, or (ii) 67% or more of the shares present at a meeting if more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. These investment restrictions provide that each Portfolio will not:

(1) issue senior securities;

(2) engage in the underwriting of securities except insofar as a Portfolio may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 in disposing of a security;

(3) purchase or sell real estate or interests therein, although the Portfolio may each purchase Timothy Plan mutual funds that invest in the securities of issuers which engage in real estate operations;

(4) invest for the purpose of exercising control or management of another company;

(5) purchase oil, gas or other mineral leases, rights or royalty contracts or exploration or development programs, except that the Portfolios may each purchase Timothy Plan mutual funds that invest in the securities of companies which invest in or sponsor such programs;

(6) invest more than 25% of the value of a Portfolio's total assets in one particular industry, except for temporary defensive purposes;

(7) make purchases of securities on "margin", or make short sales of securities, provided that each Portfolio may enter into futures contracts and related options and make initial and variation margin deposits in connection therewith; and

(8) purchase or sell commodities or commodity futures contracts, other than those related to stock indexes;

(9) make loans of money or securities, except (i) by purchase of fixed income securities in which a Portfolio may invest consistent with its investment objectives and policies; or (ii) by investment in repurchase agreements.

(10) invest in securities of any company if any officer or trustee of the Trust or the Adviser owns more than 0.5% of the outstanding securities of such company and such officers and trustees, in the aggregate, own more than 5% of the outstanding securities of such company;

(11) borrow money, except (a) from a bank, provided that immediately after such borrowing there is an asset coverage of 300% for all borrowings of a Portfolio; or (b) from a bank or other persons for temporary purposes only, provided that such temporary borrowings are in an amount not exceeding 5% of a Portfolio's total assets at the time when the borrowing is made. This limitation does not preclude a Portfolio from entering into reverse repurchase transactions, which will not be considered as borrowings provided they are fully collateralized;

(12) pledge, mortgage hypothecate, or otherwise encumber its assets, except in an amount up to 33% of the value of its net assets, but only to secure borrowing for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to effect redemptions; or

(13) purchase the securities of any issuer, if, as a result, more than 10% of the value of a Portfolio's net assets would be invested in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale ("restricted securities"), in securities for which there is no readily available market quotations, or in repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7 days, if all such securities would constitute more than 10% of a Portfolio's net assets.

So long as percentage restrictions are observed by a Portfolio at the time it purchases a security, changes in values of particular Portfolio's assets or the assets of the Portfolio as a whole will not cause a violation of any of the foregoing restrictions.

INVESTMENT ADVISER

The Trust has entered into an advisory agreement with Timothy Partners, Ltd. ("TPL" or the "Adviser"), 1304 West Fairbanks Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32789, for the provision of investment advisory services on behalf of the Trust to each Portfolio, subject to the supervision and direction of the Trust's Board of Trustees.

The investment advisory agreement may be renewed after its initial two-year term only so long as such renewal and continuance are specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Portfolio, and only if the terms of the renewal thereof have been approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not parties thereto or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The investment advisory agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.

Pursuant to the investment advisory agreement, the Trust shall conduct its own business and affairs and shall bear the expenses and salaries necessary and incidental thereto, including, but not in limitation of the foregoing, the costs incurred in: the maintenance of its corporate existence; the maintenance of its own books, records and procedures; dealing with its own shareholders; the payment of dividends; transfer of stock, including issuance, redemption and repurchase of shares; preparation of share certificates; reports and notices to shareholders; calling and holding of shareholders' meetings; miscellaneous office expenses; brokerage commissions; custodian fees; legal and accounting fees; and taxes.

For its services, TPL is paid an annual fee equal to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. The Portfolios had not commenced operations prior to December 31, 2001, so no advisory fees were payable to TPL during such year.

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

TPL acts as an underwriter of the Timothy Funds' and the Portfolios' shares for the purpose of facilitating the registration of shares under state securities laws and to assist in sales of shares pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") approved by the Trustees. TPL is not compensated for providing underwriting services to the Portfolios.

In that regard, TPL has agreed at its own expense to qualify as a broker/dealer under all applicable federal or state laws in those states which the Portfolios shall from time to time identify to TPL as states in which they wish to offer this shares for sale, in order that state registrations may be maintained by the Portfolios.

TPL is a broker/dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member in good standing of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

The Portfolios shall continue to bear the expense of all filing or registration fees incurred in connection with the registration of their shares under state securities laws.

The Underwriting Agreement may be terminated by either party upon 60 days' prior written notice to the other party.

CUSTODIAN

US Bank, 425 Walnut Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202, is custodian of the Portfolios' investments. The custodian acts as the Portfolios' depository, safe-keeps their portfolio securities, collects all income and other payments with respect thereto, disburses funds at the Portfolios' request and maintains records in connection with its duties.

ACCOUNTANTS

The firm of Tait, Weller & Baker LLP, 8 Penn Center Plaza, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19103, has been selected as independent public accountants for the Trust for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. Tait, Weller & Baker will perform an annual audit of the Portfolios' financial statements and provide financial, tax and accounting consulting services as requested.

ADMINISTRATOR

Unified Fund Services, Inc., 431 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, IN 46204 ("Unified"), provides transfer agent, portfolio accounting and certain administrative services to the Trust pursuant to an Administrative Services Agreement dated July 1, 1999.

Under the Administrative Services Agreement, Unified: (1) coordinates with the custodian and performs transfer agent services to the Portfolios; (2) coordinates with, and monitors, any third parties furnishing services to the Portfolios; (3) provides the Portfolios with necessary office space, telephones and other communications facilities and personnel competent to perform administrative and clerical functions; (4) supervises the maintenance by third parties of such books and records of the Portfolios as may be required by applicable federal or state law; (5) prepares or supervises the preparation by third parties of all federal, state and local tax returns and reports of the Portfolios required by applicable law; (6) prepares and, after approval by the Portfolios, files and arranges for the distribution of proxy materials and periodic reports to shareholders of the Portfolios as required by applicable law; (7) reviews and submits to the officers of the Portfolio for their approval invoices or other requests for payment of the Portfolios' expenses and instructs the custodian to issue checks in payment thereof; and (8) takes such other action with respect to the Portfolios as may be necessary in the opinion of Unified to perform its duties under the agreement

Annuity Investors Life Insurance Company, 250 East Fifth Street, Cincinnati, Ohio 45202 ("AILIC") provides certain additional administrative services with respect to shares of the Portfolios purchased to fund VA Contracts and held in the AILIC separate accounts. These administrative services are provided pursuant to a Participation Agreement effective as of May 1, 2002 among AILIC, the Trust and the Adviser.

Under the Participation Agreement, AILIC maintains the records related to each Portfolio's shares held in the AILIC separate accounts, processes all purchases and redemptions of Portfolio shares within the accounts, and provides other administrative and shareholder services. For its services, AILIC receives an annual fee from each Portfolio equal to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio held in the AILIC separate accounts.

ALLOCATION OF PORTFOLIO BROKERAGE

The Adviser, when effecting the purchases and sales of Portfolio securities for the account of the Portfolio, will seek execution of trades either (i) at the most favorable and competitive rate of commission charged by any broker, dealer or member of an exchange, or (ii) at a higher rate of commission charges if reasonable in relation to brokerage and research services provided to the Portfolio by such member, broker, or dealer. Such services may include, but are not limited to, any one or more of the following: information on the availability of securities for purchase or sale, statistical or factual information, or opinions pertaining to investments. The Adviser may use research and services provided to it by brokers and dealers in servicing all its clients, however, not all such services will be used by the Adviser in connection with the Portfolios. Brokerage may also be allocated to dealers in consideration of each Portfolio's share distribution but only when execution and price are comparable to that offered by other brokers.

The Adviser is responsible for making the Portfolio's investment decisions subject to instructions described in the prospectus. The Board of Trustees may however impose limitations on the allocation of portfolio brokerage.

Securities held by one Portfolio may also be held by another Portfolio or other accounts for which the Adviser serves as an adviser. If purchases or sales of securities for a Portfolio or other entities for which they act as investment adviser or for their advisory clients arise for consideration at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be made, insofar as feasible, for the respective entities and clients in a manner deemed equitable to all. To the extent that transactions on behalf of more than one client of the Adviser during the same period may increase the demand for securities being purchased or the supply of securities being sold, there may be an adverse effect on price.

On occasions when the Adviser deems the purchase or sale of a security to be in the best interests of one or more Portfolios or other accounts, it may to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, but will not be obligated to, aggregate the securities to be sold or purchased for the Portfolio with those to be sold or purchased for the other Portfolio or accounts in order to obtain favorable execution and lower brokerage commissions. In that event, allocation of the securities purchased or sold, as well as the expenses incurred in the transaction, will be made by the Adviser in the manner it considers to be most equitable and consistent with its fiduciary obligations to the Portfolio and to such other accounts. In some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size of the position obtainable for a Portfolio.

The Board of Trustees periodically reviews the brokerage placement practices of the Adviser and reviews the prices and commissions, if any, paid by the Portfolios to determine if they were reasonable.

The Adviser also may consider sales of the VA Contracts by a broker-dealer as a factor in the selection of broker-dealers to execute transactions for the Portfolios. In addition, the Adviser may place Portfolio trades for both Portfolios with affiliated brokers. As stated above, any such placement of trades will be subject to the ability of the affiliated broker-dealer to provide best execution, the Trust's procedures governing such affiliated trades and the Conduct Rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

The Portfolios had not commenced operations prior to December 31, 2001, therefore no brokerage commissions were paid by the Portfolios during such year.

CODE OF ETHICS

The Trust, the Adviser, and the principal underwriter have each adopted a Code of Ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The personnel subject to the Code are permitted to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Timothy Funds and the Portfolios. You may obtain a copy of the Code of Ethics from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PURCHASE OF SHARES

The Portfolios currently only offer their shares to the Annuity Investors Life Insurance Company, but may, in the future, offer their shares to other insurance company separate accounts. The Trust has filed an Application For Exemptive Order with the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking an order from the Commission allowing the Portfolios to be offered to multiple insurance company separate accounts. The separate accounts invest in shares of the Portfolios in accordance with the allocation instructions received from holders of the VA Contracts. Shares of the Portfolios are sold at net asset value as described in the prospectus.

REDEMPTIONS

The redemption price will be based upon the net asset value per share next determined after receipt of the redemption request, provided it has been submitted in the manner described below. The redemption price may be more or less than your cost, depending upon the net asset value per share at the time of redemption.

Payment for shares tendered for redemption is made by check within seven days after tender in proper form, except that each Portfolio reserves the right to suspend the right of redemption, or to postpone the date of payment upon redemption beyond seven days: (i) for any period during which the New York Stock Exchange is restricted, (ii) for any period during which an emergency exists as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission as a result of which disposal of securities owned by a Portfolio is not reasonably predictable or it is not reasonably practicable for the Portfolio fairly to determine the value of its net assets, or (iii) for such other periods as the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of shareholders of the Portfolios.

Pursuant to the Trust's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, payment for shares redeemed may be made either in cash or in-kind, or partly in cash and partly in- kind. However, the Trust has elected, pursuant to Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act, to redeem its shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net asset value of the Trust, during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. Payments in excess of this limit will also be made wholly in cash unless the Board of Trustees believes that economic conditions exist which would make such a practice detrimental to the best interests of the Trust. Any Portfolio securities paid or distributed in-kind would be valued as described under "Purchases and Redemption of Shares" in the prospectus. In the event that an in- kind distribution is made, a shareholder may incur additional expenses, such as the payment of brokerage commissions, on the sale or other disposition of the securities received from a Portfolio.

In-kind payments need not constitute a cross-section of a Portfolio's portfolio. Where a shareholder has requested redemption of all or a part of the shareholder's investment, and where a Portfolio completes such redemption in- kind, that Portfolio will not recognize a gain or loss for federal tax purposes, on the securities used to complete the redemption. The shareholder will recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the fair market value of the securities received and the shareholder's basis in the Portfolio shares redeemed.

The officers conduct and supervise the daily business operations of the Funds, while the Trustees, in addition to functions set forth under "Investment Adviser" and "Underwriter," review such actions and decide on general policy. Compensation to officers and Trustees of the Funds who are affiliated with TPL is paid by TPL, and not by the Fund. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Trust did not pay compensation to any of its Trustees.

The Trust has an audit committee composed of the following independent Trustees:
Messrs. Pennington, Flyer, Nelson, Minnella and Dodson. The audit committee met two times during the Trust's fiscal year ended December 31, 2001. The function of the audit committee is to oversee the Trust's accounting and financial reporting policies, practices and internal controls.

The following table sets forth information about the Trustees and the dollar range of shares of the Portfolios and The Timothy Plan Family of Funds owned by each Trustee:

TAXATION

The Portfolios intend to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

In order to so qualify, a Portfolio must, among other things (i) derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, payments with respect to certain securities loans, gains from the sale of securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including but not limited to gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to its business of investing in such stock, securities or currencies; (ii) distribute at least 90% of its dividends, interest and certain other taxable income each year; and (iii) at the end of each fiscal quarter maintain at least 50% of the value of its total assets in cash, government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities of issuers which represent, with respect to each issuer, no more than 5% of the value of a Portfolio's total assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer, and with no more than 25% of its assets invested in the securities (other than those of the government or other regulated investment companies) of any one issuer or of two or more issuers which the Portfolio controls and which are engaged in the same, similar or related trades and businesses.

To the extent each Portfolio qualifies for treatment as a regulated investment company, it will not be subject to federal income tax on income and net capital gains paid to shareholders in the form of dividends or capital gains distributions.

Each Portfolio must, and intends to, comply with the diversification requirements imposed by Section 817(h) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. These requirements, which are in addition to the diversification requirements mentioned above, place certain limitations on the proportion of a Portfolio's assets that may be represented by any single investment (which includes all securities of the same issuer). For purposes of Section 817(h), all securities of the same issuer, all interests in the same real property project, and all interests in the same commodity are treated as a single investment. In addition, each U.S. government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer, while the securities of a particular foreign government and its agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions all will be considered securities issued by the same issuer.

An excise tax at the rate of 4% will be imposed on the excess, if any, of a Portfolio's "required distributions" over actual distributions in any calendar year. Generally, the "required distribution" is 98% of a Portfolio's ordinary income for the calendar year plus 98% of its capital gain net income recognized during the one-year period ending on December 31 plus undistributed amounts from prior years. Each Portfolio intends to make distributions sufficient to avoid imposition of the excise tax.

The following discussion is only relevant to the extent that the applicable Portfolio's shares are held by an entity that is not exempt from federal income taxes or is subject to the tax on unrelated business taxable income:

Distributions declared by a Portfolio during October, November or December to shareholders of record during such month and paid by January 31 of the following year will be taxable to shareholders in the calendar year in which they are declared, rather than the calendar

September 1, 2001

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN VARIABLE SERIES

10

year in which they are received. Shareholders will be subject to federal income taxes on distributions made by a Portfolio whether received in cash or additional shares of the Portfolio. Distributions of net investment income and net short-term capital gains, if any, will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income. Distributions of net long- term capital gains, if any, will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gains, without regard to how long a shareholder has held shares of a Portfolio. A loss on the sale of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain dividend paid to the shareholder with respect to such shares. Dividends eligible for designation under the dividends received deduction and paid by a Portfolio may qualify in part for the 70% dividends received deduction for corporations provided, however, that those shares have been held for at least 45 days.

A Portfolio will notify shareholders each year of the amount of dividends and distributions, including the amount of any distribution of long-term capital gains, and the portion of its dividends which may qualify for the 70% deduction.

The foregoing is a general and abbreviated summary of the applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury regulations currently in effect. For the complete provisions, reference should be made to the pertinent Code sections and regulations. The Code and regulations are subject to change by legislative or administrative action at any time, and retroactively.

Dividends and distributions also may be subject to state and local taxes.

Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding specific questions as to federal, state and local taxes.

PERFORMANCE

Performance information for the shares of the Portfolio will vary due to the effect of expense ratios on the performance calculations. TOTAL RETURNS AND YIELDS QUOTED FOR THE PORTFOLIOS INCLUDE THE PORTFOLIOS' EXPENSES, BUT MAY NOT INCLUDE CHARGES AND EXPENSES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY PARTICULAR INSURANCE PRODUCT.

BECAUSE SHARES OF THE PORTFOLIO MAY BE PURCHASED ONLY THROUGH VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS, YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE PROSPECTUS OF YOUR VA CONTRACT FOR INFORMATION ON RELEVANT CHARGES AND EXPENSES. Excluding these charges from quotations of the Portfolio's performance has the effect of increasing the performance quoted. You should bear in mind the effect of these charges when comparing the Portfolio' performance to that of other mutual funds.

Current yield and total return may be quoted in advertisements, shareholder reports or other communications to shareholders. Yield is the ratio of income per share derived from the Portfolio investments to a current maximum offering price expressed in terms of percent. The yield is quoted on the basis of earnings after expenses have been deducted. Total return is the total of all income and capital gains paid to shareholders, assuming reinvestment of all distributions, plus (or minus) the change in the value of the original investment, expressed as a percentage of the purchase price. Occasionally, the Portfolio may include their distribution rates in advertisements. The distribution rate is the amount of distributions per share made by a Portfolio over a 12-month period divided by the current maximum offering price.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") rules require the use of standardized performance quotations or, alternatively, that every non- standardized performance quotation furnished by a Portfolio be accompanied by certain standardized performance information computed as required by the Commission. Current yield and total return quotations used by the Portfolio are based on the standardized methods of computing performance mandated by the Commission. An explanation of those and other methods used by the Portfolio to compute or express performance follows.

As the following formula indicates, the average annual total return is determined by multiplying a hypothetical initial purchase order of $1,000 by the average annual compound rate of return (including capital appreciation/depreciation and dividends and distributions paid and reinvested) for the stated period less any fees charged to all shareholder accounts and annualizing the result. The calculation assumes the maximum sales load is deducted from the initial $1,000 purchase order and that all dividends and distributions are reinvested at the net asset value on the reinvestment dates during the period. The quotation assumes the account was completely redeemed at the end of each one, five and ten-year period and assumes the deduction of all applicable charges and fees. According to the Commission formula:

P(1+T)n = ERV

Where:           P   = a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
                 T   = average annual total return.
                 N   = number of years.
               ERV   = ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000
                     payment made at the beginning of the one, five or
                     ten-year periods, determined at the end of the one, five
                     or ten-year periods (or fractional portion thereof).

                                                              September 1, 2001

COMPARISONS AND ADVERTISEMENTS

To help investors better evaluate how an investment in a Portfolio might satisfy their investment objective, advertisements regarding the Portfolio may discuss total return for the Portfolio as reported by various financial publications. Advertisements may also compare total return to total return as reported by other investments, indices, and averages. The following publications, indices, and averages may be used:

Lipper Mutual Fund Performance Analysis; Lipper Mutual Fund Indices; CDA Weisenberger; and Morningstar

From time to time, the Portfolios may also include in sales literature and advertising (including press releases) TPL comments on current news items, organizations which violate the Portfolios' philosophy (and are screened out as unacceptable Portfolio holdings), channels of distribution and organizations which endorse the Portfolios as consistent with their philosophy of investment.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Portfolio are being offered for the first time. Accordingly, financial statements for the Portfolio are not yet available.

Item 25. Indemnification.

Under the terms of the Delaware Business Trust Act and the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, no officer or Trustee of the Trust shall have any liability to the Trust or its shareholders for damages, except to the extent such limitation of liability is precluded by Delaware law, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or the By-Laws.

The Delaware Business Trust Act, section 3817, permits a business trust to indemnify any trustee, beneficial owner, or other person from and against any claims and demands whatsoever. Section 3803 protects a trustee, when acting in such capacity, from liability to any person other than the business trust or beneficial owner for any act, omission, or obligation of the business trust or any trustee thereof, except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and Declaration of Trust.

The Agreement and Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrong-doing of any officer, agent, employee, manager or principal underwriter of the Trust, nor shall any Trustee be responsible for the act or omission of any other Trustee, and, subject to the provisions of the By-Laws, the Trust out of its assets may indemnify and hold harmless each and every officer and Trustee of the Trust from and against any and all claims, demands, costs, losses, expenses, and damages whatsoever arising out of or related to such Trustee's performance of his or her duties as a officer or Trustee of the Trust; provided that nothing contained in the Agreement and Declaration of Trust shall indemnify, hold harmless or protect any officer or Trustee from or against any liability to the Trust or any shareholder to which he or she would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

The By-Laws provide indemnification for an officer or Trustee who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding (other than an action by or in the right of the Trust), by reason of the fact that such person is or was an agent of the Trust, against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, if it is determined that such person acted in good faith and reasonably believed: (a) in the case of conduct in his official capacity as an agent of the Trust, that his conduct was in the Trust's best interests and (b) in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the Trust's best interests and (c) in the case of a criminal proceeding, that he had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of that person was unlawful. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement shall not of itself create a presumption that the person did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth above. The termination of any proceeding by conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or any entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, shall create a rebuttable presumption that the person did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth above.

The By-Laws further provide indemnification for an officer or Trustee who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding by or in the right of the Trust to procure a judgment in its


favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was an agent of the Trust, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by that person in connection with the defense or settlement of that action if that person acted in good faith, in a manner that person believed to be in the best interests of the Trust and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

The By-Laws provide no right to indemnification for any liability arising by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or the reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of an officer's or Trustee's office with the Trust. Further no indemnification shall be made:

(a) In respect of any proceeding as to which an officer or Trustee shall have been adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him, whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in the person's official capacity; or

(b) In respect of any proceeding as to which an officer or Trustee shall have been adjudged to be liable in the performance of that person's duty to the Trust, unless and only to the extent that the court in which that action was brought shall determine upon application that in view of all the relevant circumstances of the case, that person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the expenses which the court shall determine; however, in such case, indemnification with respect to any proceeding by or in the right of the Trust or in which liability shall have been adjudged by reason of the disabling conduct set forth in the preceding paragraph shall be limited to expenses; or

(c) Of amounts paid in settling or otherwise disposing of a proceeding, with or without court approval, or of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding which is settled or otherwise disposed of without court approval, unless the required approval as set forth below is obtained.

The By-Laws provide to the extent that an officer or Trustee has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding as set forth above before a court or other body before whom a proceeding was brought, the officer or Trustee shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the officer or Trustee in connection therewith, provided that the Board of Trustees, including a majority who are disinterested, non- party Trustees, also determines that based upon a review of the facts, the officer or Trustee was not liable by reason of the disabling conduct also as set forth above.

Except as provided for in the preceding paragraph, the By-Laws provide that any indemnification provided therein shall be made by the Trust only if authorized in the specific case on a determination that indemnification of the officer or Trustee is proper in the circumstances because the officer or Trustee has met the applicable standard of conduct as set forth above and is not prohibited from indemnification because of the disabling conduct also as set forth above, by:


(a) A majority vote of a quorum consisting of Trustees who are not parties to the proceeding and are not interested persons of the Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940);

(b) A written opinion by an independent legal counsel; or

(c) The shareholders; however, shares held by an officer or Trustee who is a party to the proceeding may not be voted on the subject matter.

The By-Laws permit expenses incurred in defending any proceeding as set forth above to be advanced by the Trust before the final disposition of the proceeding if (a) receipt of a written affirmation by the officer or Trustee of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification as set forth therein and a written undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or Trustee, such undertaking being an unlimited general obligation to repay the amount of the advance if it is ultimately determined that he has not me those requirements, and (b) a determination would not preclude indemnification as set forth therein. Determinations and authorizations of payments must be made in the manner specified above for determining that the indemnification is permissible.

No indemnification or advance is permitted under the By-Laws, with limited exceptions as set forth therein, in any circumstances where it appears:

(a) That it would be inconsistent with a provision of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Trust, a resolution of the shareholders, or an agreement in effect at the time of accrual of the alleged cause of action asserted in the proceeding in which the expenses were incurred or other amounts were paid which prohibits or otherwise limits indemnification; or

(b) That it would be inconsistent with any condition expressly imposed by a court in approving a settlement.

The Trustees and officers of the Trust are entitled and empowered under the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to purchase errors and omissions liability insurance with assets of the Trust, whether or not a Fund would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the Agreement and Declaration of Trust or By-Laws.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to the Trustees, the officers, the underwriter or control persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 29. Management Services.

All substantive provisions of any management-related service contract are discussed in Parts A and B of this Registration Statement.

Item 30. Undertakings.

Registrant hereby undertakes, if requested by the holders of at least 10% of the Registrant's outstanding shares, to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of a director(s) and to assist in communications with other shareholders in accordance with Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act, as though Section 16(c) applied.

Registrant hereby undertakes to furnish each person to whom a prospectus is delivered with a copy of its latest annual report to shareholders, upon request and without charge.

Registrant hereby undertakes to carry out all indemnification provisions of its Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws in accordance with Investment Company Act Release No. 11330 (Sept. 4, 1980) and successor releases.


Insofar as indemnifications for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("1933 Act"), may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling person of the Registrant pursuant to the provision under Item 27 herein, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefor, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication.

Sub-Advisory Agreement

This Agreement is made and entered into as of the 14th day of December, 2001, by and between Timothy Partners, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership (the "Adviser") serving as investment adviser to the Timothy Plan, a Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), and Fox Asset Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Investment Manager").

WHEREAS, the Trust is a diversified, open-end management investment company, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), and authorized to issue multiple series and multiple classes of shares; and

WHEREAS, effective as of September 30, 2001, Eaton Vance Corp. (through a wholly owned subsidiary) acquired 80% of the outstanding common stock of Fox Asset Management, Inc., the current subadviser of the Timothy Plan Large/Mid-Cap Value Fund (the "Portfolio").

WHEREAS, this change in control of the subadvisor resulted in an automatic termination of the Portfolio's initial subadvisory agreement that was approved by the Timothy Plan's Board of Trustees (the "Board") effective as of May 1, 1999.

WHEREAS, the Board approved an interim subadvisory agreement effective as of August 3, 2001 which granted Fox authority to act as subadviser for the Portfolio effective as of the date of the change of control of the Investment Manager for a period not to exceed 150 days thereafter, pending shareholder approval of a new subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager.

WHEREAS, on December 14, 2001, a majority of the outstanding voting securities of all classes of the Portfolio approved the new subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager,

WHEREAS, the Trust has engaged the Adviser to provide investment management services to the Trust, and the Adviser desires to retain Investment Manager to render certain investment management services to the Portfolio, and Investment Manager is willing to render such services; and

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. OBLIGATIONS OF INVESTMENT MANAGER

(A) SERVICES. Investment Manager agrees to perform the following services (the "Services") for the Portfolio: (1) manage the investment and reinvestment of the Portfolio's assets; (2) continuously review, supervise, and administer the investment program of each Portfolio; (3) determine, in its discretion, the securities to be purchased, retained or sold (and implement those decisions); (4) provide the Trust and Adviser with records concerning Investment Manager's activities which the Trust is required to maintain; and (5) render regular reports to the Trust's and Adviser's officers and directors concerning Investment Manager's discharge of the foregoing responsibilities. Investment Manager shall discharge the foregoing responsibilities subject to the control


of the officers, directors, and trustees of the Adviser and the Trust and in compliance with such policies as the trustees may from time to time establish, and in compliance with the objectives, policies, and limitations of the Portfolios set forth in the Trust's prospectus and statement of additional information, as amended from time to time, and with all applicable laws and regulations. All Services to be furnished by Investment Manager under this Agreement may be furnished through the medium of any directors, officers or employees of Investment Manager or through such other parties as Investment Manager may determine from time to time. Investment Manager agrees, at its own expense or at the expense of one or more of its affiliates, to render the Services and to provide the office space, furnishings, equipment and personnel as may be reasonably required in the judgment of the Board of Trustees of the Trust to perform the Services on the terms and for the compensation provided herein. Investment Manager shall authorize and permit any of its officers, directors and employees, who may be elected as directors or officers of the Trust, to serve in the capacities in which they are elected. Except to the extent expressly assumed by Investment Manager herein and except to the extent required by law to be paid by Investment Manager, the Trust shall pay all costs and expenses in connection with its operation and organization.

(B) BOOKS AND RECORDS. All books and records prepared and maintained by Investment Manager for the Trust under this Agreement shall be the property of the Trust and, upon request therefor, Investment Manager promptly shall surrender to the Trust such of the books and records so requested.

(C) ASSUMPTION. For and in consideration of the Trust entering into this Agreement, Investment Manager hereby agrees that from and after the effective date set forth above, Investment Manager shall be liable for the obligations of Fox Asset Management, Inc. arising prior to the effective date for its actions under the initial and interim subadvisory agreements.

2. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS.

Investment Manager is authorized to select the brokers or dealers that will execute the purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the Portfolio and is directed to use its best efforts to obtain the best net results as described in the Trust's prospectus from time to time. Investment Manager may, in its discretion, purchase and sell portfolio securities from and to brokers and dealers who provide the Portfolio with research, analysis, advice and similar services, and Investment Manager may pay to these brokers and dealers, in return for research and analysis, a higher commission or spread than may be charged by other brokers and dealers, provided that Investment Manager determines in good faith that such commission is reasonable in terms either of that particular transaction or of the overall responsibility of Investment Manager to the Trust and its other clients and that the total commission paid by the Trust will be reasonable in relation to the benefits to the Portfolio over the long-term. Investment Manager will promptly communicate to the officers and the directors of the Adviser and Trust such information relating to portfolio transactions as they may reasonably request.

3. COMPENSATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGER.

-2-

For its services rendered to the Portfolio, the Adviser will pay to Investment Manager on the last day of each month a fee at an annual rate equal to 0.42% of the first $10 million of the Portfolio's average daily net assets, 0.40% of the next $5 million, 0.35% of the next $10 million, and 0.25% of the average daily net assets in excess of $25 million. The fees described above shall be computed daily based upon the net asset value of the Portfolio as determined by a valuation made in accordance with the Trust's procedure for calculating Portfolio net asset value as described in the Trust's Prospectus and/or Statement of Additional Information. During any period when the determination of the Portfolio's net asset value is suspended by the trustees of the Trust, the net asset value of a share of the Portfolio as of the last business day prior to such suspension shall, for the purpose of this Paragraph 3, be deemed to be net asset value at the close of each succeeding business day until it is again determined.

4. STATUS OF INVESTMENT MANAGER.

The services of Investment Manager to the Trust are not to be deemed exclusive, and Investment Manager shall be free to render similar services to others so long as it obtains the prior consent of the Trust to render such services, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. It shall be conclusively presumed that such consent shall be reasonably withheld in the event the Trustees find that the services of the investment Manager to the Trust would be impaired by such additional services. Investment Manager shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Trust in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Trust. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer or employee of Investment Manager, who may also be a director, officer, or employee of the Trust, to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature.

5. PERMISSIBLE INTERESTS.

Trustees, agents, and stockholders of the Trust are or may be interested in Investment Manager (or any successor thereof) as directors, partners, officers, or stockholders, or otherwise, and directors, partners, officers, agents, and stockholders of Investment Manager are or may be interested in the Trust as trustees, stockholders or otherwise; and Adviser (or any successor) is or may be interested in the Trust as a stockholder or otherwise.

6. LIABILITY OF INVESTMENT MANAGER.

Investment Manager assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder in good faith. Investment Manager shall not be liable for any error of judgment or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty with respect to receipt of compensation for services (in which case any award of damages shall be limited to the period and the amount set forth in Section 36(b)(3) of the Investment Company Act of 1940), or a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of, or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and duties under, this Agreement.

-3-

7. TERM.

This Agreement shall remain in effect until no later than December 14, 2003, and from year to year thereafter provided such continuance is approved at least annually by (a) the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust or
(b) a vote of a "majority" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Trust's outstanding securities, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by the vote of a majority of the trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the Act) of any such party, which vote must be cast in person at meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval; provided, however, that: (i) the Trust or Adviser may, at any time and without the payment of any penalty, terminate this Agreement upon 60 days written notice to Investment Manager; (ii) the Agreement shall immediately terminate in the event of its assignment (within the meaning of the Act and the Rules thereunder); (iii) Investment Manager may terminate this Agreement without payment of penalty on 60 days written notice to the Trust; and (iv) the terms of paragraph 6 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

8. NOTICES.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any notice or other communication required by or permitted to be given in connection with this Agreement will be in writing and will be delivered in person or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid or by prepaid overnight delivery service to the respective parties as follows:

Re: The Timothy Plan; SEC File No. 811-0822

Dear Sir or Madam:

The Timothy Plan, a Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"). We understand that the Trust is about to file post-effective amendment number 15 to its registration statement pursuant to Rule 485(b) under the Securities Act.

We hereby consent to this opinion accompanying the post-effective amendment number 15 to the Fund's registration statement which the Fund herein files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Very truly yours,

/s/  THOMPSON COBURN LLP
