The Timothy Plan
1304 West Fairbanks Avenue
Winter Park, Florida  32789

Dear Sirs:

I have been asked by The Timothy Plan, Inc. (the "Trust"), a business trust
organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, to render my opinion with
respect to the issuance of an indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest
of the Trust (the "Shares") representing proportionate interests in the
following series of the Trust (each a "Fund" and together the "Funds"):

The Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund;
The Timothy Plan Small-Cap Value Fund;
The Timothy Plan Large/Mid-Cap Value Fund;
The Timothy Plan Large/Mid-Cap Growth Fund;
The Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund;
The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund;
The Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund;
The Timothy Plan Money Market Fund
The Timothy Plan Small-Cap Variable Series
The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund Variable Series
The Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund Variable Series

The Shares of the Funds are separate series of the Trust consisting of one or
more classes of shares, all as more fully described in the applicable Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information of the Funds.

I have examined the Trust's Declaration of Trust, By-Laws, the Prospectuses and
Statements of Additional Information and such other documents, records and
certificates as deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion.

Based on the foregoing, I am of the opinion that the Shares of each Fund, when
issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the then current
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, will be legally issued,
fully paid, and non-assessable by the Trust.

Further, I give my permission to include this opinion as an exhibit to the
Trust's Post-Effective Amendment No. 12 to Registration Statement on Form N-1A.


Very Truly Yours,

/s/
