LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
June 30, 2007
ARTHUR D. ALLY
Dear Timothy Plan Shareholder:
I think someone has been messing with the calendar. Although this letter introduces our Semi-Annual Report, it seems like only a few weeks have passed since I was writing the one for our Annual Report. I am pleased to report, however, that things are going well for your Timothy Plan Variable Funds. As you can see from the report, both of our asset-allocation variable sub-accounts have produced positive returns thus far in 2007. Granted, the market has been somewhat volatile at times, nevertheless the end result – thus far at least – has been rather pleasant.
I would like to call your attention to a couple of changes that have occurred since our last report:
1. | We added two new funds (an International Fund and a High-Yield Bond Fund) to our product mix on May 1st of this year and, although they have only been in operation a little less than two months, we couldn’t be more pleased with our sub-advisors and their performance. |
2. | With the addition of these two new funds and, as a result of a proxy vote approval by shareholders, the underlying fund composition of our two asset-allocation portfolios (Strategic Growth and Conservative Growth) changed May 1st to incorporate the new funds. |
Although our investment strategy and commitment has not changed over the years, I thought it might be prudent to provide a little refresher for you, our shareholders. Here are the three things we ask of our sub-advisors – in priority order:
1. | Do not violate our moral screens. We do the research and provide each of our sub-advisors with our list of prohibited companies. |
2. | Preservation of principal is job #1. In the investment world it is impossible to guarantee results or against potential loss of value but we do require our sub-advisors to manage Timothy Plan money as conservatively as possible. |
3. | Finally, after honoring the first two points, we ask our sub-advisors to do their best to out-perform their appropriate index over a full market cycle – which we estimate to be approximately five years. |
We believe this to be the Biblical model as opposed to the over-emphasis on performance employed by a large segment of the investment industry. Performance is certainly important but I have seen too much evidence of disappointment and disillusionment experienced by investors when the sole emphasis is on performance. Bottom line: we take our stewardship responsibility over your assets very seriously. Thank you once again for being part of the Timothy Plan family.
Sincerely,
Arthur D. Ally,
President

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited):
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such as wire fees and low balance fees; and indirect costs, including management fees, and other Fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your indirect costs, also referred to as “ongoing costs,” (in dollars) of investing in the Fund, and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period of January 1, 2007, through June 30, 2007.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on you account during this period.

FUND PROFILE

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses my not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees or low balance fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these direct costs were included, your costs would be higher.
Beginning Account Value January 1, 2007 | Ending Account Value June 30, 2007 | Expenses Paid During Period* January 1, 2007 Through June 30, 2007 | |||||||
Actual | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,067.55 | $ | 3.06 | |||
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,021.84 | $ | 2.99 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.60%, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period.) The Fund’s ending account value in the first line in the table is based on its actual total return of 6.75% for the six-month period of January 1, 2007, to June 30, 2007. |

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited):
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such as wire fees and low balance fees; and indirect costs, including management fees, and other Fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your indirect costs, also referred to as “ongoing costs,” (in dollars) of investing in the Fund, and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period of January 1, 2007, through June 30, 2007.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on you account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses my not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees or low balance fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these direct costs were included, your costs would be higher.
Beginning Account Value January 1, 2007 | Ending Account Value June 30, 2007 | Expenses Paid During Period* January 1, 2007 Through June 30, 2007 | |||||||
Actual | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,093.62 | $ | 3.26 | |||
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | 1,000.00 | 1,021.68 | 3.15 |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.63%, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181 days/365 days (to reflect the one-half year period.) The Fund’s ending account value in the first line in the table is based on its actual total return of 9.36% for the six-month period of January 1, 2007, to June 30, 2007. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CONSERVATIVE & STRATEGIC GROWTH PORTFOLIO VARIABLE SERIES
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Portfolio Variable Series (“Conservative Growth Portfolio”) and the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series (“Strategic Growth Portfolio”) (individually the “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) were organized as diversified series of The Timothy Plan (the “Trust”). The Trust is an open-ended investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1993 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Conservative Growth Portfolio’s primary objective is moderate long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income only to the extent that the Timothy Funds in which the Conservative Growth Portfolio invests seek current income. The Strategic Growth Portfolio’s primary investment objective is medium to high levels of long term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income only to the extent that the Timothy Funds in which the Strategic Growth Portfolio invests seek current income. The Conservative Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in the following Timothy Funds which are other series of the Trust: Small Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Fixed Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, International Fund and the Money Market Fund. The Strategic Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in the following Timothy Funds which are other series of the Trust: Small Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund, Fixed Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, International Fund and the Money Market Fund. Each Fund is one of one series of funds currently authorized by the Board of Trustees (the “Board). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation.
Each Fund 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. Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates market value.
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 review and supervision of the Board.
The Board has delegated to the Adviser responsibility for determining the value of Fund portfolio securities under certain circumstances. Under such circumstances, the Adviser will use its best efforts to arrive at the fair value of a security held by the Fund under all reasonably ascertainable facts and circumstances. The Adviser must prepare a report for the Board not less than quarterly containing a complete listing of any securities for which fair value pricing was employed and detailing the specific reasons for such fair value pricing. The Trust has adopted written policies and procedures to guide the Adviser with respect to the circumstances under which, and the methods to be used, in fair valuing securities.
The Funds generally invest the vast majority of their assets in frequently traded exchange listed securities of domestic issuers with relatively liquid markets and calculate their NAV as of the time of those exchanges close. The Funds typically do not invest in securities on foreign exchanges or in illiquid or restricted securities. Accordingly, there may be very limited circumstances under which any Fund would hold securities that would need to be fair value priced.
Timothy Plan Notes to Financial Statements [20]
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
CONSERVATIVE & STRATEGIC GROWTH PORTFOLIO VARIABLE SERIES
In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of June 30, 2007, the Trust does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements reported on the statement of changes in net assets for a fiscal period.
B. Investment Income and Securities Transactions.
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.
C. Net Asset Value Per Share.
Net asset per share of the capital stock of each Fund is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing the value of its net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.
D. Federal Income Taxes.
It is the policy of the Funds to continue to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders, therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
In June 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes that requires the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard that, based on their technical merits, have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained. Management of the Funds has evaluated its current tax positions and does not believe the adoption of FIN 48 has an impact on the financial statements of the Funds.
E. Use of Estimates.
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Fund.

G. Expenses.
Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or an appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).

Note 3 – Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Timothy Partners, LTD., (“TPL”) is the Investment Adviser for the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) that was renewed by the Board on February 27, 2007. TPL supervises the investment of the assets of each Funds’ portfolio in accordance with the objectives, policies and restrictions of the Funds. Under the terms of the Agreement, TPL receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Total fees earned by TPL during the six months ended June 30, 2007 were $14,906 and $7,749 for the Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio, respectively. The Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio owed TPL $2,708 and $1,363, respectively, at June 30, 2007. An officer and trustee of the Funds is also an officer of the Adviser.
TPL has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Funds and reimburse other expenses to the extent necessary to limit each Funds’ aggregate annual operating expenses, excluding brokerage commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses, interest, taxes, capital expenditures and extraordinary expenses, to 0.85% of average daily net assets through April 30, 2008. The Funds have agreed to repay these expenses in the first, second and third fiscal years following the year of the waivers/reimbursements, to the extent the total expenses of the Funds for any such year or years do not exceed the expense limitation of 0.85%.
At December 31, 2006, there were no cumulative amounts available for recoupment that were previously paid and/or waived by TPL on behalf of the Funds.
Note 4 – Control Ownership
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates presumption of control of the Fund under Section 2(a) 9 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of June 30, 2007, American United Life Insurance Co. (“AUL”) held for the benefit of others in aggregate, approximately 80% of Conservative Growth Portfolio and approximately 52% of Strategic Growth Portfolio; Annuity Investors Life Insurance Co. (“AILIC”) held for the benefit of others in aggregate, approximately 20% of Conservative Growth Portfolio and approximately 48% of Strategic Growth Portfolio.
The Trust and TPL have entered into Participation Agreements with AUL and AILIC. Under the Participation Agreements, AUL and AILIC maintain the records related to the Funds’ shares in the insurance company separate accounts, process all purchases and redemptions within the accounts, and provide other administrative and shareholder services for an administrative services fees of 0.25% of each Fund’s assets.
Note 5 – Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
At June 30, 2007, the cost for federal income tax purposes is and the composition of gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities is as follows:

BOARD ANNUAL APPROVAL/RENEWALS OF ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)
Timothy Partners, Ltd; Investment Adviser to all Funds
The continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “IA Agreement”) on behalf of each series of the Trust between the Trust and Timothy Partners, Ltd. (“TPL”) was last approved by the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or any person who is a party to the Agreement, at an in-person meeting held on February 23, 2007.

To further assist the Board in making its determination as to whether the IA Agreement should be renewed, the Board requested and received the following information: a description of TPL’s business and any personnel changes, a description of the compensation received by TPL from the Funds, information relating to TPL’s policies and procedures regarding best execution, trade allocation, soft dollars, code of ethics and insider trading, and a description of any material legal proceedings or securities enforcement proceedings regarding TPL or its personnel. In addition, the Board requested and received financial statements of TPL for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Board also received a report from TPL relating to the fees charged by TPL, both as an aggregate and in relation to fees charged by other advisers to similar funds. The materials prepared by TPL were provided to the Board in advance of the meeting. The Board considered the fees charged by TPL in light of the services provided to the Funds by TPL, the unique nature of the Funds and their moral screening requirements, which are maintained by TPL, and TPL’s role as a manager of managers. After full and careful consideration, the Board, with the independent trustees separately concurring, agreed that the fees charged by TPL were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds. The Board also discussed the nature, extent and quality of TPL’s services to the Funds. In particular, the Board noted with approval TPL’s efforts in providing comprehensive and consistent moral screens to the investment managers, its efforts in maintaining appropriate oversight of the investment managers to each Fund, and its efforts to maintain ongoing regulatory compliance for the Funds. The Board also discussed TPL’s current fee structure and whether such structure would allow the Funds to realize economies of scale as they grow. The Board noted that TPL currently is paid a flat rate on all Fund assets, and as the Funds grow, that rate structure may need to be revisited and a “breakpoint” structure imposed. However, the Board also noted that TPL had been subsidizing many of the Funds’ operations since their inception at significant expense to TPL, and that any future restructuring of the Advisory Agreement fee rates would be undertaken recognizing the need to insure that TPL’s contributions to the Funds were balanced with the interests of the Funds then current shareholders. The Board next considered the investment performance of each Fund and TPL’s performance in monitoring the investment managers. The Board generally approved of each Fund’s performance, noting that the Funds invested in a manner that did not rely exclusively on investment performance. Further, the Board noted with approval that the investment managers of each Fund did not succumb to style drift in their management of each Fund’s assets, and that each Fund was committed to maintain its investment mandate, even if that meant under-performance during periods when that style was out of favor. The Board noted with approval TPL’s ongoing efforts to maintain such consistent investment discipline. The Board also noted with approval that TPL’s business was devoted exclusively to serving the Funds, and that TPL did not realize any ancillary benefits or profits deriving from its relationship with the Funds. The Board further noted with approval TPL’s past activities on monitoring the performance of the Funds’ various investment managers and the promptness and efficiency with which problems were brought to the Board’s attention and responsible remedies offered and executed. After careful discussion and consideration, the Board, including the independent Trustees who unanimously cast an affirmative vote, determined that the renewal of the Agreement for another one-year period would be in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders. In approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreement for an additional one year period, the Board did not place specific emphasis on any one factor discussed above, but considered all factors in equal light. Further, the Board had available and availed itself of the assistance of legal counsel at all times during its consideration of the Advisory Agreement renewal.
