LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
December 31, 2007
ARTHUR D. ALLY
Dear Shareholder,
Since I am expected to comment on performance, I am pleased to report that 2007 turned out to be a good year for Timothy Plan. In most cases our funds out-performed their appropriate market index but there were two notable exceptions – our Large/Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Aggressive Growth Fund.
Our Board of Trustees have had these two funds under review for quite a while and finally reached the conclusion that a change of money managers would be in the best interests of our shareholders. Shareholders of those two funds approved the change in December and Chartwell Investment Partners (“Chartwell”), an impressive growth money management firm, assumed sub-advisory responsibility over those funds January 1, 2008. We believe Chartwell to be one of the best, top-tier growth management firms in the industry.
This action completes our efforts to upgrade the managers of all our funds and, I believe, we can now state with complete confidence that, in our opinion, all of our funds are managed by firms that are as good as, if not better than, any mutual fund family in the industry. Please refer to the individual manager’s comments within this report for more detailed information as to why each of the funds under their responsibility performed as they did.
I should also point out that we added two new funds to our family on May 1, 2007 – an International Fund and a High-Yield Bond Fund. We now believe we have every major asset category covered for asset-allocation purposes.
As a review, here is what we ask of our managers – in priority order:
(1) | Do not violate our moral and ethical screens. We provide them with our continuously updated screen list and they apply their economic analysis to any company not on our screen list. |
(2) | Preservation of principal is job #1 – ahead of performance. This does not mean that the value of your investment will not decline during times of market declines. What it does mean is that we expect them to manage our funds as conservatively as reasonably possible. Then, |
(3) | Out-perform your market index over a full market cycle – which we consider to be approximately five years or so. |
I want to assure you in conclusion that Timothy is serious about our mission (to genuinely screen our investments) and our commitment to continuously pursue Kingdom Class quality in everything we do. Thank you for being part of the Timothy Plan family.
Sincerely, |
Arthur D. Ally President |

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER
December 31, 2007
SMALL CAP VALUE FUND
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund Class A produced a return of 2.87%, which exceeded the (1.57%) produced by the Russell 2000 Index.
Accelerating credit losses associated with sub-prime debt, combined with continued weakness in the U.S. housing market and softening broad economic data, led to losses in the equity markets. The weak fourth quarter of 2007, combined with the lower third quarter, created the weakest results for the second half of a year since the market downturn earlier in the decade. Despite a degree of confidence given by Fed rate cuts during the year, investors continued to price in the potential for an economic recession in 2008. Economically-sensitive sectors were impacted on fears of a slower economy, both domestically and possibly even internationally and, as a result, the Russell 2000 Index fell almost 2% for the year.
An overweight and strong performance in the Producer Durables, Materials & Processing, Autos & Transportation and Consumer Discretionary sectors coupled with strong security selection in the Financial Services sector aided performance. The best performing securities included Washington Group, Layne Christensen, Cleveland-Cliffs, which responded well to strength in commodity prices and merger & acquisition activity within the Materials & Processing sector. Foundation Coal, in the Energy sector, also benefitted from commodity price strength while Genco Shipping & Trading benefited from strength in demand and shipping rates.
Relative performance was hindered by our exposure to selected securities within the Health Care, Utilities and Consumer Staples sectors. Laggards for the period were Superior Offshore International, NCI Building Systems and General Communications, all of which saw their prices fall as investors feared fundamentals were weakening within end markets and after reporting earnings that were disappointing relative to investor expectations.
The small cap markets experienced large price swings through 2007 with a 10% rally in the first six months of the year that was entirely erased by mid-July. A second rally that began in September was short lived and small caps ended the year down as investors priced in the potential for economic weakness. Market movements tended to favor different types of companies throughout the year with the largest, moderately priced companies posting the best performances for the year. However, as our investment philosophy dictates, our portfolios are built with a longer-term focus and therefore, our holdings did not materially change to accommodate the market’s favored investment style.
Our expectation for corporate operating profit growth in the small cap sector is a mid single-digit to low double digit gain over the 2007 level. Equities remain attractive; however, a slower pace of economic growth may disappoint some investors, leading to continued market volatility and a renewed preference for high-quality securities with solid fundamentals.
With the risk matrix our capital market outlook presents, we will continue to focus our investment strategy on only the highest-quality companies and to invest in companies that have healthy balance sheets, generate strong levels of free cash flow and efficiently utilize that cash to reduce debt, repurchase stock or initiate or increase dividends. As in prior years, we continue to expect to find more of these companies within the manufacturing sector as worldwide demand for their products boosts profits. We also expect to find more companies exhibiting these characteristics in the Technology sector, as these companies have spent many years strengthening balance sheets, generate large amounts of free cash flow and are currently experiencing strong demand.
As you know, we focus our investment efforts on finding high-quality securities at valuations that significantly discount the future prospects of a company. We believe that such a strategy will again be rewarded in 2008.

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 July 1, 2007, through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.47% for Class A, 2.22% for Class B, and 2.22% for Class C, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period.) The Fund’s ending account value on the first line of each share class in the table is based on its actual total return of (7.64)% for Class A, (7.95)% for Class B, and (8.03)% for Class C for the six-month period of July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007. |

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER
December 31, 2007
LARGE / MID CAP VALUE FUND
For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund Class A produced a return of 17.02%, which exceeded the 5.49% produced by the S&P 500 Index.
An overweight and strong performance in the Energy and Materials & Processing sectors coupled with strong performance in the Financial Services, Technology and Consumer Discretionary sectors aided performance. The best performing securities included Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Murphy Oil, Apache and Precision Castparts, all of which responded well to the strength in commodity prices. Additionally, within Financial Services, asset management and brokerage firms Eaton Vance and BlackRock were bid higher as their results continued to beat expectations.
Relative performance was hindered by our exposure to the REITs, Consumer Staples and Health Care sectors. Within the Financial Services and REIT sectors, BB&T, Zions Bancorp, Comerica and Equity Residential all saw their share prices decline as investors worried over the credit crisis. Other detractors included Lam Research, which was pressured by fears over a weaker economy.
Large amounts of liquidity, a function of low, short-term interest rates among other things, flowed into public markets in 2006 and well into 2007. Companies had their share prices boosted by strong mutual fund inflows as well as by merger & acquisition activity among industry peers and from private equity funds. But, increased liquidity creates an atmosphere that favors risk and, after more than three years of free-flowing liquidity, valuations for more speculative assets reached lofty levels, while the appetite for high-quality securities decreased. As 2007 came to an end, it was apparent the environment had drastically changed. The financial and credit crisis that began last summer sparked significantly higher levels of volatility and, despite a significant reduction in the Fed Funds rate, we saw a huge reduction in risk appetite that pummeled stock prices and has had an adverse impact on the price of all kinds of risky assets.
The reflating of global rates has served as the catalyst for lower liquidity, slower growth and an increase in risk premiums in 2008. Within the U.S., we expect growth to slow from 2007’s pace and continue below its potential in 2008, thereby alleviating pressure on resource utilization rates and allowing inflation to continue to recede. We view housing as a remaining headwind for the domestic economy in 2008, but do not believe it will cause a recession and excess inventory should be slowly reduced throughout the year. Unemployment is expected to drift higher as firms focus on reducing costs, but capital expenditures should remain a source of strength despite the need to shore up balance sheets. Additionally, we continue to believe global growth will exceed that of the U.S., and global excess liquidity, which has artificially depressed interest rates and risk premiums for the past 5 years, is beginning to mature and is resulting in higher rates and a return to a positively-sloped yield curve.
Our expectations for the combined 2008 operating profits of the 500 companies that comprise the S&P 500 Index is $104.00 per share on a market capitalization-weighted basis, a gain of 9% over 2007, or $3.65 per share on an equal-weighted basis. Under this scenario, equities are more attractive, particularly relative to bonds and we believe, the markets will begin to assign a premium to companies showing unit growth and high cash margins.
With the risk matrix our capital market outlook presents, we will continue to focus our investment strategy on only the highest quality companies and to invest in companies that have healthy balance sheets, generate strong levels of free cash flow and efficiently utilize that cash to reduce debt, repurchase stock or initiate or increase dividends. As in prior years, we continue to expect to find more of these companies within the manufacturing sector as worldwide demand for their products boosts profits. We also expect to find more companies exhibiting these characteristics in the Technology sector, as these companies have spent many years strengthening balance sheets, generate large amounts of free cash flow and are currently experiencing strong demand.
As you know, we focus our investment efforts on finding high-quality securities at valuations that significantly discount the future prospects of a company. We believe that such a strategy will again be rewarded in 2008.

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 July 1, 2007, through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.47% for Class A, 2.21% for Class B, and 2.22% for Class C, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period.) The Fund’s ending account value on the first line of each share class in the table is based on its actual total return of 3.69% for Class A, 3.28% for Class B, and 3.23% for Class C for the six-month period of July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007. |

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER
December 31, 2007
FIXED INCOME FUND
The first half of 2007 saw a strong economy with GDP growth in 2Q07 of 4.9%, cyclically low unemployment of 4.4% in March, and an inflation rate slow to decline from 2.7% for the CPI ex food and energy. Given this environment interest rates generally moved higher with the U.S. Treasury rate peaking at 5.30% in June after beginning the year at 4.70%. The summer months saw storm clouds building in the financial system from excessive high yield financing needs resulting from private equity buyouts and widespread problems in structured securities using sub prime loans.
Despite the efforts begun in August by the Federal Reserve to calm investor fears via massive infusions of liquidity, the revaluation of risk from the sub prime fiasco continued at a torrid pace. Wall Street firms, mortgage bankers, and commercial banks began to record massive write-offs leading to emergency capital infusions and widespread turnover in executive suites. The impact of financial markets on housing and employment led to a weaker economy and lower rates as 2007 ended.
However, lower rates in the bond market were bifurcated as U.S. Treasury rates declined while corporate bond and mortgage rates moved sideways to higher. This increased yield spreads back to levels not seen since 2002. The ten year Treasury ended 2007 at 4.02% some 68 basis point lower. Perhaps more importantly the Treasury yield curve steepened as short term rates declined faster as measured by the two year Treasury ending 2007 at 3.05% down 175 basis points. The good news is that a positive yield curve is favorable for financial companies’ earnings and capital creation which should eventually repair damage done by sub prime loans.
The Lehman Aggregate Index produced a strong 2007 return of 6.97%. The “flight to quality” rally drove U.S. Treasuries up 9.01% for the year which was the best annual return since 2002. However the bond market bifurcation generated a different result for corporate bonds. The Lehman Corporate Index (investment grade) returned only 4.56% for the full year.
While the Timothy Fixed Income Fund A shares 2007 return of 5.19% trailed the Lehman Aggregate Index at 6.97%, it did outperform the 4.70% return of the average intermediate bond fund as reported by Morningstar. Performance was hindered by the over-weight in corporate bonds and an underweight in U.S. Government bonds. Performance was aided by an underweight in mortgage securities, no exposure to sub prime loans, and no exposure to the brokerage industry.
The portfolio is defensively positioned at year end with a 5.8 year average maturity slightly below the broad bond market as measured by the Lehman Aggregate index. The average coupon of 5.84% is slightly higher than the market and the average quality is AA. The over-weight in corporate bonds has been maintained as valuations are more attractive. There is no exposure to sub prime loans and the only mortgage holdings are in GNMA issues with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury.

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 July 1, 2007, through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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 7/1/2007 | Ending Account Value 12/31/2007 | Expenses Paid During Period* 7/1/2007 through 12/31/2007 | |||||||

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.16% for Class A, 1.87% for Class B, and 1.91% for Class C, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period.) The Fund’s ending account value on the first line of each share class in the table is based on its actual total return of 4.63% for Class A, 4.20% for Class B, and 4.16% for Class C for the six-month period of July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007. |

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER
December 31, 2007
AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
For the year 2007, U.S. equity market returns were mixed, with some styles producing positive returns while others were negative. The use of leverage backfired on many investors in a year marked not by one correction, but two. The returns of the major averages belie the numerous cross currents of the market during 2007.
Although Consumer Discretionary represented an underperforming sector in the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index in the fourth quarter, the portfolio outperformed. Within Consumer Discretionary most of the positive alpha was produced from an overweight position in the distribution industry. Also in the consumer area, positive stock selection in the apparel industry helped, with Iconix Brand Group demonstrating excellent growth. The portfolio’s Energy holdings also generated outsized gains, especially in the oil & gas industry. In this area, Southwestern Energy Co. and Peabody Energy Corp. outperformed.
Information Technology stocks detracted most from relative performance in the fourth quarter. Semiconductor companies Varian Semiconductor and Intersil Corp. especially underperformed, as did communications equipment leader F5 Networks. Also hurting performance were Industrial stocks, with Precision Castparts Corp. (aerospace & defense) and Oshkosh Truck Corp. (machinery) particularly detracting. Finally, in the Health Care sector, biotechnology stocks penalized results. Celgene Corp. especially lagged others in the industry.
We anticipate that during the first portion of 2008 the US economy will continue to remain soft, hindered by a continued decline in the housing market, below trend consumer spending, and tight credit markets. Home prices have not yet bottomed and additional bankruptcies are likely in the housing and mortgage sectors. Incremental consumer spending will track employment, gasoline prices and the housing market. The credit markets will continue to struggle, especially in the first half of the year. As a result, investors will need to tread cautiously in these areas during 2008.

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 July 1, 2007, through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.49% for Class A, 2.22% for Class B, and 2.25% for Class C, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period.) The Fund’s ending account value on the first line of each share class in the table is based on its actual total return of (1.95)% for Class A, (2.34)% for Class B, and (2.34)% for Class C for the six-month period of July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007. |

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER
December 31, 2007
LARGE / MID CAP GROWTH FUND
As most of you know, our sub-advisory contract with Rittenhouse terminated with the sale of their parent firm on November 13, 2007. Since our new sub-advisor, Chartwell Investment Partners (“Chartwell”), was scheduled to take over that responsibility January 1, 2008, we opted, subject to Chartwell’s guidance and oversight, to fill the gap between November 13, 2007 and December 31, 2007 ourselves. So, with Rittenhouse out of the picture, the comments below represent the combined thoughts of Timothy Partners, Ltd., and Chartwell Investment Partners:
The last twelve months, as a whole, were relatively strong, but the final quarter of 2007 was difficult and volatile for securities markets. There was simply too much uncertainty across too many areas: credit conditions, housing weakness, record oil prices and billions in financial losses and write-offs among issuers, investors and guarantors of exotic securities. Into the breach came foreign investors with billions of capital for investment in US companies, but equity markets still faltered with a view that the economy was slowing, recession was increasingly likely, and little could be done to improve the near-term course of events.
Large cap stocks showed the largest gains in 2007 with a 5.77% return in the Russell 1000. Slightly lagging was the Russell Midcap Index at 5.60%, and significantly behind were small caps with the Russell 2000 down 1.57%. And, for the year, growth stocks fared better than value at all market cap levels.
OUTLOOK
As we enter 2008, markets remain volatile under an increasingly pessimistic economic outlook. The Fed has moved in small deliberate steps to counteract threats to growth and price stability. In 2007, markets began the year on a positive note and ended weakly; it’s possible that 2008 will show the reverse. A weak start may yield a stronger finish if the economic slowdown is shallow and brief, international markets remain healthy, and confidence builds towards recovery later in the year and strength in 2009.
At its core, the U.S. economy remains strong and resilient. This is a period of great innovation in domestic markets and around the globe. Innovation should support long-term growth, while cyclical concerns may produce investment opportunities at more attractive valuations than we have seen in the last several years.

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 July 1, 2007, through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.52% for Class A, 2.25% for Class B, and 2.27% for Class C, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period.) The Fund’s ending account value on the first line of each share class in the table is based on its actual total return of (3.31)% for Class A, (3.75)% for Class B, and (3.74)% for Class C for the six-month period of July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007. |

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER
December 31, 2007
STRATEGIC GROWTH FUND
I am pleased to report that 2007 turned out to be a good year for Timothy Plan. In most cases the funds that comprise your asset-allocation investment out-performed their appropriate market index but there were two notable exceptions – our Large/Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Aggressive Growth Fund.
Our Board of Trustees have had these two funds under review for quite a while and finally reached the conclusion that a change of money managers would be in the best interests of our shareholders. Shareholders of those two funds approved the change in December and Chartwell Investment Partners, an impressive growth money management firm, assumed sub-advisory responsibility over those funds January 1, 2008. We believe Chartwell to be one of the best, top-tier growth management firms in the industry.
This action completes our efforts to upgrade the managers of all our underlying funds and, I believe, we can now state with complete confidence that, in our opinion, all of our funds are managed by firms that are as good as, if not better than, any mutual fund family in the industry.
I should also point out that we added two new funds to our family on May 1, 2007 – an International Fund and a High-Yield Bond Fund. As a result, we recommended a reconfiguration of our asset-allocation mix to incorporate these two new funds. This was approved by our shareholders and became effective May 1, 2007. Therefore, as described within this report, your investment in Strategic Growth is now allocated among six of our underlying funds as opposed to four previously.
Because of this asset allocation change, we were able to locate an appropriate best-fit index, the Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Portfolio Index, for performance comparison purposes. We previously simply defaulted to the S&P 500 since it is such a widely recognized index.
I want to assure you, in conclusion, that Timothy is serious about our mission (to genuinely screen our investments) and our commitment to continuously pursue Kingdom Class quality in everything we do. Thank you for being part of the Timothy Plan family.

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 July 1, 2007, through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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.

The Fund’s ending account value on the first line of each share class in the table is based on its actual total return of 0.40% for Class A, 0.08% for Class B, and (0.06)% for Class C for the six-month period of July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007. |

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER
December 31, 2007
CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND
I am pleased to report that 2007 turned out to be a good year for Timothy Plan. In most cases the funds that comprise your asset-allocation investment out-performed their appropriate market index but there were two notable exceptions – our Large/Mid-Cap Growth Fund and Aggressive Growth Fund.
Our Board of Trustees have had these two funds under review for quite a while and finally reached the conclusion that a change of money managers would be in the best interests of our shareholders. Shareholders of those two funds approved the change in December and Chartwell Investment Partners, an impressive growth money management firm, assumed sub-advisory responsibility over those funds January 1, 2008. We believe Chartwell to be one of the best, top-tier growth management firms in the industry.
This action completes our efforts to upgrade the managers of all our underlying funds and, I believe, we can now state with complete confidence that, in our opinion, all of our funds are managed by firms that are as good as, if not better than, any mutual fund family in the industry.
I should also point out that we added two new funds to our family on May 1, 2007 – an International Fund and a High-Yield Bond Fund. As a result, we recommended a reconfiguration of our asset-allocation mix to incorporate these two new funds. This was approved by our shareholders and became effective May 1, 2007. Therefore, as described within this report, your investment in Conservative Growth is now allocated among seven of our underlying funds as opposed to four previously.
Because of this asset allocation change, we were able to locate an appropriate best-fit index, the Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index, for performance comparison purposes. We previously simply defaulted to the S&P 500 since it is such a widely recognized index.
I want to assure you, in conclusion, that Timothy is serious about our mission (to genuinely screen our investments) and our commitment to continuously pursue Kingdom Class quality in everything we do. Thank you for being part of the Timothy Plan family.

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 July 1, 2007, through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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 7/1/2007 | Ending Account Value 12/31/2007 | Expenses Paid During Period* 7/1/2007 through 12/31/2007 | |||||||

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.10% for Class A, 1.84% for Class B, and 1.85% for Class C, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period.) The Fund’s ending account value on the first line of each share class in the table is based on its actual total return of 1.70% for Class A, 1.31% for Class B, and 1.33% for Class C for the six-month period of July 1, 2007, to December 31, 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 July 1, 2007, through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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.

Hypothetical | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,020.76 | $ | 4.49 | |||
(5% return before expenses) |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.88%, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period.) The Fund’s ending account value on the first line of each share class in the table is based on its actual total return of 2.01% for Class C for the six-month period of July 1, 2007, to December 31, 2007. |

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER
December 31, 2007
HIGH YIELD BOND FUND
The strong economy as measured by gross domestic product growth of 4.9% in the second quarter of 2007 and cyclically low unemployment of 4.4% in March led to an accelerated pace of leveraged buyouts (“LBO”) from private equity firms in the first half of 2007. High yield bonds traded at historically narrow yield spreads despite the building need for new bond issuance. The summer months saw storm clouds build in the financial system as high yield buyers began to demand more attractive yields and at the same time widespread problems emerged in structured securities using sub prime loans.
Despite the efforts begun in August by the Federal Reserve to calm investor fears via massive infusions of liquidity, the credit crunch spread into the high yield market. The inability to issue bonds at rates needed to complete many LBO private equity deals left most without permanent financing. At the same time Wall Street firms and commercial banks recorded massive write-offs from structured securities using sub prime loans leading them to need capital infusions. While the world wide search for capital has been successful, the high yield market still suffers from a large calendar of pending issuance which banks and brokers must sell to further improve capital positions.
In this market environment, the Lehman Aggregate Index produced a strong 2007 return of 6.97%. The “flight to quality” rally drove U.S. Treasuries up 9.01% for the year which was the best annual return since 2002. However, Lehman Brothers reports 2007 was amongst the worst years on record for credit sectors. High yield took the brunt of the credit tailspin as the Lehman U.S. Corporate High Yield Index returned +1.88% for the year, but it was still a positive result!
The Timothy High Yield Bond Fund A shares had a fourth quarter return of -0.78%, trailing slightly behind the -0.53% return of the Lehman Ba\B 3% cap high yield index benchmark, but exceeding the -1.46% average high yield fund return as reported by Morningstar. The Fund’s A shares six month return of 0.66% exceeded both the 0.58% Lehman benchmark and the -1.44% average high yield fund return as reported by Morningstar. The Fund launched in May 2007 when yield spreads were narrow leading initial purchases to include significant holdings in higher quality investment grade issues which helped results. Performance was hindered by bonds in Ashtead Holdings, Noranda Aluminum, and Quebecor World. Results were aided by energy positions including Whiting Petroleum and Markwest Energy.
As 2007 closes, the positive yield curve created in large part by the Federal Reserve actions is good news for financial companies’ earnings and capital creation. As the brokerage and commercial bank industries continue to repair their balance sheets, we look for the pending high yield financing to be placed creating a better market environment. With high yield bond rates at the most attractive yield levels since 2002 there is opportunity. Specifically the portfolio is positioned in an over-weight to energy while significantly under-weighting the largest issuers especially the auto industry.

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 period of July 1, 2007, through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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.

LETTER FROM THE MANAGER
December 31, 2007
INTERNATIONAL FUND
The Fund’s inception in mid-2007 was soon met by extreme equity market volatility as the global credit crisis spurred by the US subprime woes consumed global equity market attention. Central banks in the U.S., Europe, and Asia reacted swiftly to provide liquidity to credit markets that had all but dried up. Major financial institutions, including both European and Asian, were caught in the crosshairs as their appetite for yield in prior years found them holding, directly and indirectly, subprime-related securities.
Economies across Europe performed well during 2007 but internal and external pressures began to take their toll in the latter part of the year. Rising inflation, mostly from higher energy and food prices, kept the European Central Bank and the Bank of England on the defensive. Spain, Ireland, and the UK began to see their housing markets slow down after several years of good growth. Japan’s economy stalled in the middle of the year as a clampdown on the property developers created investment uncertainty. China’s economy grew more than 11% in 2007 as its urbanization process continued with its vast infrastructure development and domestic consumption growth. Other emerging market economies also performed well, especially those tied to commodity industries, as the demand for raw materials in the developing markets continued.
In spite of some of these headwinds, the Fund performed well, as a result of good stock selection in certain areas of the world, and favorable sector and country allocations. The Fund’s overweight position in the emerging markets was additive to performance as these markets vastly outperformed the developed markets during 2007. The Fund also benefited from being underweight in the Financials sector as the credit crisis that gripped the industry affected the financial sector’s performance around the globe. Additionally, the Fund was underweight the Consumer Discretionary sector which aided performance as signs of weak consumer spending in Japan and several European countries led to weak performance from this sector. Good stock selection in the Materials sector was additive as the continued insatiable demand for commodities in the developing economies, led by China and India, translated to strong performance for the Fund’s holdings in this sector.
The Fund’s holdings in Technology and Consumer Staples detracted from performance as they failed to keep pace with the companies that drove returns in these sectors. The Industrials sector also proved to be quite volatile as worries about slowing economies in the developed markets led to concerns on global growth.
The Fund’s underweighted position, relative to its benchmark, in Japan and the United Kingdom, proved beneficial as these two large markets underperformed for the period. The Fund benefited significantly from its positions in Brazil, Turkey, Russia, and Hong Kong as those markets performed well. The Fund’s German and French holdings did not perform as well as their benchmarks. Exposure to Canada proved additive as our holdings there in the Materials and Energy sector performed well.
While the U.S., Japan, and some areas in Europe are experiencing near term economic uncertainties going into 2008, the overall level of economic growth in the world is at a robust pace. The emerging economies today account for more than 50% of the world’s economic growth and their health is as strong as we have seen in the past decade. These economies are developing their basic building structures in roads, ports, railways, electricity, housing and the like. This urbanization and infrastructure development process will take years and combined with rising real incomes in many countries is leading to robust domestic consumption trends as well.
The Fund focuses on investments in larger capitalization companies across the globe with strong management teams that can provide competitive advantages that accrue to shareholders. These high quality companies tend to do well in periods of economic uncertainty. With attractive valuations and good growth opportunities, international stocks appear to be well positioned.

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 period of July 1, 2007 through December 31, 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 your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes (unaudited)
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 may 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.

* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.70% for Class A and 2.50% for Class C, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period) The Fund’s ending account value on the first line of each share class in the table is based on its actual total return of 7.90% for Class A and 7.56% for Class C for the six-month period of July 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007
TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS
Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies
The Timothy Plan (the “Trust”) is organized as a series of a Delaware business trust pursuant to a trust agreement dated December 16, 1993. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end diversified management investment company. The Trust currently consists of twelve series. These financial statements include the following ten series: Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund, Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund, Timothy Plan International Fund, Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Timothy Plan Money Market Fund and Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund (“the Funds”).
The Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in U.S. common stocks without regard to market capitalizations and investing in the securities of a limited number of companies which the Fund’s Adviser believes show a high probability for superior growth.
The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund seeks to generate moderate levels of long-term capital growth with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 75% of its net assets in the following Funds which are other series of the Trust: approximately 5%-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund; approximately 15%-25% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund; approximately 5%-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund; approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund; approximately 5-15% in the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund; approximately 10-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan International Fund; and approximately 20%-40% in the Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund. The Fund may also invest in the Timothy Plan Money Market Fund.
The Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund seeks to generate a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk. To achieve its investment objective, 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 Fund will generally only purchase high quality securities.
The Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund’s investment objective is to generate a high level of current income. To achieve its investment objective, 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 Fund will generally purchase securities that are not investment grade, meaning securities with a rating of “BBB” or lower as rated by Standard and Poor’s or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized rating agency.
The Timothy Plan International Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in the common stock and similar securities of foreign companies through the purchase of American Depository Receipts (ADR’s) without regard to market capitalization, investing its assets in the ADR’s of companies which the Fund’s investment manager believes show a high probability for superior growth, and allocating investments across countries and regions considering the size of the market in each country and region relative to the size of the international market as a whole. Although the Fund maintains a diversified investment portfolio, the political or economic developments within a particular country or region may have an adverse effect on the ability of domiciled issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, political or economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities and currency holdings.
The Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund’s primary objective is long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing at least 80% of its assets in U.S. common stocks whose market capitalization is generally less than $2 billion.
The Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s investment objective is 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. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in U.S. common stocks with market capitalizations in excess of $2 billion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007
TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS
The Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in U.S. common stocks. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in the common stock of companies whose total market capitalization generally exceeds $2 billion.
The Timothy Plan Money Market Fund seeks to generate a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund normally invests in short-term debt instruments, such as obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies, certificates of deposit, banker’s acceptances, commercial paper and short-term corporate notes.
The Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund seeks to generate medium to high levels of long-term capital growth. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 75% of its net assets in the following Funds which are other series of the Trust: approximately 10%-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund; approximately 15%-25% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund; approximately 15%-25% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund; approximately 0-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund; approximately 20-30% of its net assets in the Timothy International Fund; and approximately 10%-15% in the Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund. The Fund may also invest in the Timothy Plan Money Market Fund.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.
A. Security Valuation
Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price on the last business day of the period. Fixed income securities are valued by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices are accurate and reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities for which quotations are not readily available, or the Adviser feels the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, 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 (the “Board”). Short-term obligations with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which the Board has determined approximates market value.
The Funds generally determine the total value of each Class 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.
Investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
Timothy Plan Notes to Financial Statements [127]
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2007
TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS
The Timothy Plan Money Market Fund uses the amortized cost method to compute its NAV. 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 Money Market Fund will not sell securities prior to maturity date except to satisfy redemption requests.
The Board has delegated to the Adviser and/or Sub-Advisers responsibility for determining the value of Fund portfolio securities under certain circumstances. Under such circumstances, the Adviser or Sub-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 and Sub-Advisers 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 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, except in the International Fund where a portion of the ADRs are considered fair valued. They are priced using the evaluated bid price provided by the pricing service.
In September 2006, 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 December 31, 2007, the Funds’ Management 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 state 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). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis. The Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund and the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund have made certain investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. It is common for these dividends to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
C. Net Asset Value Per Share
Net asset value per share of the capital stock of the Funds 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. Net Asset Value is calculated separately for each class of the following Funds, Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund, Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund, Timothy Plan International Fund, Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, and Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund. The asset value of the classes may differ because of different fees and expenses charged to each class.

D. 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 another appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).
E. Classes
There are three Classes of shares currently offered by the Trust; Class A shares are offered with a front-end sales charge and ongoing service/distribution fees; Class C shares are offered with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) that ends after the first year and ongoing service and distribution fees; No-Load shares are offered without sales charges or ongoing service/distribution fees (The Timothy Plan Money Market Fund only). The Trust previously has offered Class B shares to the public, which contain a contingent deferred sales charge that declines to zero over a period of years and are subject to an ongoing service/distribution fee. Sales of Class B shares to new shareholders were suspended by the Board during their meeting on February 27, 2004, with the suspension effective May, 2004. The amount of the CDSC fee varies depending on the number of years Class B shares for each Fund is held, except for the Money Market Fund, International Fund and High Yield Bond Fund which do not offer Class B shares. The following CDSC fees apply:
Redemption Within: | Percentage | ||
First Year | 5 | % | |
Second Year | 4 | % | |
Third Year | 3 | % | |
Fourth Year | 2 | % | |
Fifth Year | 1 | % | |
Sixth Year & thereafter | None |
Since Class B shares have not been offered since 2004, the maximum CDSC fee charged as of December 31, 2007 would be 2%.
Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares once the economic equivalent of the highest front-end sales charge paid at time of purchase has been received by a Fund, in the form of Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, paid by all Class B shares owned by an investor.
Class specific expenses are borne by each specific class. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative daily net assets.
F. 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.
G. Federal Income Taxes
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to comply with all requirements under subchapter M 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.
Effective June 29, 2007, the Funds adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, a clarification of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 was applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.

TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS
As of and during the year ended December 31, 2007, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statements of operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2004.
H. 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 Funds. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of December 31, 2007, primarily attributable to certain net operating losses, which for tax purposes are not available to offset future income, distributions in excess of current year earnings, and permanent book to tax differences arising from tax-exempt interest income, were reclassified to the following accounts:
Ordinary Income | Net Realized Gain | Paid-in-Capital | ||||||||||
Aggressive Growth Fund | $ | 288,823 | $ | — | $ | (288,823 | ) | |||||

Note 3 – Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Timothy Partners, LTD., (“TPL”) is the investment adviser for the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) that was renewed by the Board on February 23, 2007. TPL supervises the investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with the objectives, policies and restrictions of the Trust. Under the terms of the Agreement, as amended, TPL receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Timothy Plan International Fund; 0.85% of the average daily net assets of the Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth, Timothy Plan Small Cap Value, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth, and Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Funds; 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Timothy Plan Fixed Income, the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond and Timothy Plan Money Market Funds; and 0.65% of the average daily net assets of the Timothy Plan Conservative Growth and Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Funds. TPL has voluntarily agreed to reduce the fee it receives from Timothy Plan Fixed Income and Timothy Plan Money Market to 0.45% and 0.40%, respectively. Such voluntary fee reduction may be authorized by TPL at any time, but such action shall not obligate TPL to waive any fees in the near future. An officer and trustee of the Funds is also an officer and owner of the Adviser. TPL has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by certain Funds and reimburse other expenses to the extent necessary to limit those Funds’ aggregate annual operating expenses, excluding brokerage commissions and other portfolio transaction expenses, interest, taxes, capital expenditures and extraordinary expenses to the specified percentages listed below for the share classes as indicated:
Funds | Class A | Class B | Class C | ||||||
Aggressive Growth Fund * | 1.60 | % | 2.35 | % | 2.35 | % | |||
High Yield Bond Fund | 1.35 | % | N/A | 2.10 | % | ||||

Money Market Fund * | 0.85 | % | N/A | N/A |
* | The Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund and the Timothy Plan Money Market Fund were able to incur recoupment expenses as a result of previous waiver/recoupment agreements. |
The agreements to waive and reimburse expenses are effective through April 30, 2008 for the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond and the Timothy Plan International Funds. The Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund and the Timothy Plan International Fund have agreed to repay waived expenses within the following three years provided the Funds are able to effect such reimbursements and remain in compliance with applicable expense limitations. As of December 31, 2007, the Adviser can no longer recoup $33,178 of reimbursed expenses from the Timothy Plan Money Market Fund due to a voluntary waiver.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, TPL waived and reimbursed the Funds or received recoupment from the Funds as follows:
Funds | Waivers and Reimbursements (recoupments) | |||
Aggressive Growth Fund | $ | (8,098 | ) | |

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund, 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, Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund, and Timothy Plan International Fund (the “Funds”), ten of the series constituting The Timothy Plan, as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended for the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund, 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, and Timothy Plan Money Market Fund, and the related statements of operation, statements of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the period then ended for the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund and Timothy Plan International Fund. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the periods indicated prior to December 31, 2005 were audited by another independent accounting firm who expressed unqualified opinions on those highlights.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2007, by correspondence with the Funds’ custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund, 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, Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund, and Timothy Plan International Fund (the “Funds”), ten of the series constituting The Timothy Plan, as of December 31, 2007, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and their financial highlights for the periods then ended indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
