Timothy Plan Funds

 

(the “Trust”)

 

Prospectus February 2, 2004

 

This Prospectus offers the following series of the Trust (collectively, the “Asset Allocation Funds”) that invest in certain Traditional Timothy Plan Funds:

 

Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund

 

Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund

 

The Timothy Plan was established to provide an investment alternative for people who want to invest according to certain ethical standards. All our Funds have one thing in common: they employ a zero-tolerance policy against investing in any company that is involved in the business of alcohol production, tobacco production or casino gambling, or which is involved, either directly or indirectly, in abortion or pornography, or promoting anti-family entertainment or non-traditional married lifestyles. Each Asset Allocation Fund invests the majority of its assets in certain Traditional Funds of the Trust to provide a convenient way to allocate your investment among the Traditional Funds. Traditional Fund shares are not offered via this Prospectus and may not be purchased by investors in Oklahoma, New Hampshire or Washington District of Columbia. However, a brief description of each Traditional Fund has been included to assist you in understanding how the Asset Allocation Funds invest.

 

The Funds are distributed through Timothy Partners, Ltd.

1304 West Fairbanks Avenue, Winter Park, Florida 32789.

 

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

 

     PROSPECTUS FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS    February 2, 2004      3


THE BASICS ABOUT THE ASSET ALLOCATION FUNDS

 

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

 

The Timothy Plan believes that it has a responsibility to invest in a moral and ethical manner. Accordingly, none of our Traditional Funds invest in any company that is involved in the business of alcohol production, tobacco production, or casino gambling, or which is involved, either directly or indirectly, in abortion or pornography, or promoting anti-family entertainment or non-traditional married lifestyles. Securities issued by companies engaged in these prohibited activities are excluded from the Traditional Funds’ portfolios and are referred to throughout this Prospectus as “Excluded Securities.” Under a zero-tolerance policy, Excluded Securities will not be purchased by any of our Traditional Funds. Timothy Partners, Ltd. (“TPL”) is investment adviser to the Funds and is responsible for determining those securities that are Excluded Securities, and reserves the right to exclude investments, in its best judgment, in other companies whose practices may not fall within the exclusions described above, but nevertheless could be found offensive to basic, traditional Judeo-Christian values.

 

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

 

          Class A

     cusip number:    887432763
     ticker symbol:    TSGAX

TIMOTHY PLAN STRATEGIC GROWTH FUND

         

 

Investment objective

 

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

 

Primary investment strategies

 

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

 

Timothy Fund


   % of Fund’s Net Assets Invested in Traditional Fund

Small Cap Value Fund

   15-20%

Large/Mid Cap Value Fund

   20-25%

Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund

   30-35%

Aggressive Growth Fund

   15-20%

 

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

 

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

 

Primary risks

 

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

 

2. Portfolio Risk- The Fund is subject to all of the risks that are inherent in the Traditional Funds in which the Fund invests.

 

Who should buy this Fund

 

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

TIMOTHY PLAN CONSERVATIVE GROWTH FUND

         

 

Investment objective

 

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

 

Primary investment strategies

 

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

 

Timothy Fund


   % of Fund’s Net Assets Invested in Traditional Fund

Small Cap Value Fund

   15-20%

   25-30%

   15-20%

   25-30%

 

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

 

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

 

Primary risks

 

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

 

2. Portfolio Risk- The Fund is subject to all of the risks that are inherent in the Traditional Funds in which the Fund invests.

 

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

 

4. Credit Risk- To the extent that the Fund invests in the Fixed-Income Fund and other fixed income securities, the Fund will be exposed to credit risk. The Fund could lose money if any bonds it owns are downgraded in credit rating or go into default. For this reason, the Fixed-Income Fund will only invest in investment grade bonds.

 

Who should buy this Fund

 

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

 

Past performance

 

The following bar chart and table help show the risks of investing in shares of the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s yearly performance over the lifetime of the Fund. They also compare the Fund’s performance to the performance of the S&P 500 Index during each period.

* Figures noted in the table below reflect changes in management fee structure as approved by the Funds’ shareholders at a shareholder meeting held in December 5, 2003.
(1) US Bank, the Funds’ Custodian, charges a fee on redemptions paid by wire transfer, which is currently $9.
(2) Management Fees include an annual fee of 0.65% of the average daily net assets of each Fund which is paid to the Funds’ Adviser, Timothy Partners. Ltd., which is in addition to the aggregate management fees paid by the underlying Funds in which each Asset Allocation Fund invests.
(3) Other Expenses include administration fees, transfer agency fees and all other ordinary operating expenses of the Asset Allocation Funds not listed above.
(4) Timothy Partners, Ltd. is contractually obligated to waive its fees and/or reimburse each Asset Allocation Fund to the extent necessary to maintain certain overall expense caps. The figures in the above table include the expenses attributable to the specific Asset Allocation Fund and the underlying Funds in which it invests. Not including the expenses attributable to the underlying Funds, the expense cap of each Asset Allocation Fund is as follows: The expense cap is 1.15%.

 

Example:

 

The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Asset Allocation Funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The following table sets forth the estimated aggregate expenses of the Asset Allocation Funds, including expenses of the underlying Traditional Funds in which they invest, based upon the expense tables for the Asset Allocation Funds set out above. These estimates assume a constant allocation by each Asset Allocation Fund of its assets in the Traditional Funds as described in the “Basics About the Asset Allocation Funds” section. Actual expenses of the Asset Allocation Funds may be higher or lower than this example. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and annual Fund operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:*

 

     Class A

     Strategic

   Conservative

One year

   $ 788    $ 784
    

  

Three years

   $ 1,333    $ 1,319
    

  

Five years

   $ 1,903    $ 1,880
    

  

Ten years

   $ 3,443    $ 3,398
    

  

 

* The $9 fee that you would have to pay if you redeemed your shares by wire transfer is not included in these figures. A maximum sales charge of 5.25% each Asset Allocation Fund is included in the expense calculations. The expenses shown above reflect estimated Total Annual Operating Expenses for the underlying Traditional Funds. See the footnotes to the “Annual Fund Operating Expenses” table for the Traditional Funds.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

ADDITIONAL EXPENSE AND TAX IMPLICATIONS

 

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

 

THE BASICS ABOUT THE TRADITIONAL FUNDS IN WHICH THE ASSET ALLOCATION FUNDS INVEST

 

In order for investors to more thoroughly understand the Asset Allocation Funds, the following information is provided for informational purposes only. These Funds are not being offered by this Prospectus, and are not available for direct sale in Oklahoma, New Hampshire and Washington District of Columbia.

 

TIMOTHY PLAN AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND

(A Component of the Strategic Growth Fund)

 

Investment objective

 

Long-term growth of capital.

 

Primary investment strategies

 

  Investing in securities of companies without regard to market capitalizations; and

 

  Normally investing at least 80% of its assets in the securities of companies the Fund’s investment manager believes show a high probability for superior growth.

 

Primary risks

 

1. Stock Market Risk- The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.

 

2. Larger Company Investing Risk- Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also, larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

 

3. Smaller Company Investing Risk- Investing in smaller companies often involves greater risk than investing in larger companies. Smaller companies may not have the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. The securities of smaller companies, therefore, tend to be more volatile than the securities of larger, more established companies. Smaller company stocks tend to be bought and sold less often and in smaller amounts than larger company stocks. Because of this, if a Fund wants to sell a large quantity of a small-sized company’s stock, it may have to sell at a lower price than would otherwise be indicated, or it may have to sell in smaller than desired quantities over an increased time period.

 

4. Excluded Security Risk- Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities, the Fund may be riskier than other Funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

 

5. Growth Risks- The Fund invests in companies that appear to be growth-oriented companies. Growth companies are companies that the Fund’s investment manager believes will have revenue and earnings that grow faster than the economy as a whole, offering above-average prospects for capital appreciation and little or no emphasis on dividend income. If the investment manager’s perceptions of a company’s growth potential are wrong, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund’s return.

 

6. Portfolio Turnover- The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities to achieve its principal investment strategies. As a result, the Fund may experience high portfolio turnover. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher costs for brokerage commissions and other transaction costs and may also result in taxable capital gains.

 

     PROSPECTUS FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS    February 2, 2004      9


TIMOTHY PLAN LARGE/MID-CAP GROWTH FUND

(A Component of Both Asset Allocation Funds)

 

Investment objective

 

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

 

Primary investment strategies

 

  Primarily investing in equity securities with market capitalization in excess of $2 billion;

 

  Normally investing at least 80% of its assets in a portfolio of securities which includes a broadly diversified number of U.S. equity securities that the Fund’s investment manager believes show a high probability of superior prospects for above average growth. The Fund’s investment manager chooses these securities using a “bottoms up” approach of extensively analyzing the financial, management, and overall economic conditions of each potential investment.

 

Primary risks

 

1. Stock Market Risk- The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.

 

2. Excluded Security Risk- Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities, the Fund may be riskier than other Funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

 

3. Growth Risks- The Fund invests in companies that appear to be growth-oriented companies. Growth companies are companies that the Fund’s investment manager believes will have revenue and earnings that grow faster than the economy as a whole, offering above-average prospects for capital appreciation and little or no emphasis on dividend income. If the Fund’s investment manager’s perceptions of a company’s growth potential are wrong, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund’s return.

 

4. Larger Company Investing Risk- Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also, larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

 

5. Mid-Sized Company Investing Risk- Investing in smaller companies often involves greater risk than investing in larger companies. Smaller companies may not have the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. The securities of smaller companies, therefore, tend to be more volatile than the securities of larger, more established companies. Smaller company stocks tend to be bought and sold less often and in smaller amounts than larger company stocks. Because of this, if a Fund wants to sell a large quantity of a small-sized company’s stock, it may have to sell at a lower price than would otherwise be indicated, or it may have to sell in smaller than desired quantities over an increased time period.

 

TIMOTHY PLAN SMALL-CAP VALUE FUND

(A Component of Both Asset Allocation Funds)

 

Investment objective

 

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

 

Primary investment strategies

 

  The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by primarily investing at least 80% of its assets in U.S. small-cap stocks. Small-Cap stocks refer to the common stock of smaller companies—companies whose total market capitalization is generally less than $2 billion.

 

  In determining whether to invest in a particular company, the Fund’s investment manager focuses on a number of different attributes of the company, including the company’s market expertise, balance sheet, improving return on equity, price to earnings ratios, industry position and strength, management and a number of other factors. Analyzing companies in this manner is known as a “bottoms up” approach to investing.

 

  The Fund may invest in equity securities of foreign issuers, including American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”). ADRs are certificates held in trust by a U.S. bank or trust company evidencing ownership of shares of foreign-based issuers, and are an alternative to purchasing foreign securities in their national market and currency.

 

Primary risks

 

1. Stock Market Risk- The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.

 

2. Smaller Company Investing Risk- Investing in smaller companies often involves greater risk than investing in larger companies. Smaller companies may not have the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. The securities of smaller companies, therefore, tend to be more volatile than the securities of larger, more established companies. Smaller company stocks tend to be bought and sold less often and in smaller amounts than larger company stocks. Because of this, if a Fund wants to sell a large quantity of a small-sized company’s stock, it may have to sell at a lower price than would otherwise be indicated, or it may have to sell in smaller than desired quantities over an increased time period.

3. Excluded Security Risk- Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities, the Fund may be riskier than other Funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

 

4. Foreign Risk. The Fund’s investments in foreign securities may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than funds with investments solely in securities of U.S. companies. This is because of the securities markets of many foreign countries are relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a small number of industries. Foreign issuers are not subject to the same degree of regulation as U.S. issuers. Also, nationalization, expropriation or confiscatory taxation or political changes could adversely affect the Fund’s investments in a foreign country. There is a risk that fluctuations in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies may negatively affect the value of the Fund’s investments in foreign securities.

 

5. “Value” Investing Risk- The Fund invests in companies that appear to be value-oriented companies. If a Portfolio’s perceptions of a company’s inherent value are wrong, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Portfolio’s return. Further, “value” stocks, in general, may lose favor in the market and under perform other types of securities.

 

TIMOTHY PLAN LARGE/MID-CAP VALUE FUND

(A Component of Both Asset Allocation Funds)

 

Investment objective

 

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

 

Primary investment strategies

 

  The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by primarily investing in U.S. common stocks. The Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in companies whose total market capitalization exceeds $2 billion.

 

  In determining whether to invest in a particular company, the Fund’s investment manager focuses on a number of different attributes of the company, including the company’s market expertise, balance sheet, improving return on equity, price to earnings ratios, industry position and strength, management, and a number of other factors. Analyzing companies in this manner is known as a “bottoms up” approach to investing.

 

Primary risks

 

1. Stock Market Risk- The Fund is an equity fund, so it is subject to the risks inherent in the stock market in general. The stock market is cyclical, with prices generally rising and falling over periods of time. Some of these price cycles can be pronounced and last for a long time.

 

2. Larger Company Investing Risk- Larger, more established companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges like changes in consumer tastes or innovative smaller competitors. Also, larger companies are sometimes unable to attain the high growth rates of successful, smaller companies, especially during extended periods of economic expansion.

 

3. Mid-Sized Company Investing Risk- Investing in smaller companies often involves greater risk than investing in larger companies. Smaller companies may not have the management experience, financial resources, product diversification and competitive strengths of larger companies. The securities of smaller companies, therefore, tend to be more volatile than the securities of larger, more established companies. Smaller company stocks tend to be bought and sold less often and in smaller amounts than larger company stocks. Because of this, if a Fund wants to sell a large quantity of a small-sized company’s stock, it may have to sell at a lower price than would otherwise be indicated, or it may have to sell in smaller than desired quantities over an increased time period.

 

4. Excluded Security Risk- Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities, the Fund may be riskier than other Funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

 

5. “Value” Investing Risk- The Fund invests in companies that appear to be value-oriented companies. If a Portfolio’s perceptions of a company’s inherent value are wrong, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Portfolio’s return. Further, “value” stocks, in general, may lose favor in the market and under-perform other types of securities.

 

TIMOTHY PLAN FIXED INCOME FUND

(A Component of the Conservative Growth Fund)

 

Investment objective

 

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

 

Primary investment strategies

 

  To achieve its goal, the Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of debt securities. These include corporate bonds, U.S. government and agency securities, convertible securities and preferred securities. The investment manager will only purchase securities for the Fund that are investment grade, with a rating of at least “BBB” as rated by Standard & Poor’s or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized rating agency. The Fund may also invest in debt securities that have not been rated by one of the major rating agencies, so long as the Fund’s investment manager has determined that the security is of comparable credit quality to similar rated securities. The Fund has adopted a non-fundamental investment policy that under normal circumstances will invest at least 80% of its assets in fixed income securities. This policy may not be changed without at least 60 days prior written notice to Fund shareholders.

 

  In managing its portfolio, the Fund’ s investment manager concentrates on sector analysis, industry allocation and securities selection, deciding which types of bonds and industries to emphasize at a given time, and then which individual bonds to buy. The Fund attempts to anticipate shifts in the business cycle in determining types of bonds and industry sectors to target. In choosing individual securities, the Fund seeks out securities that appear to be undervalued within the emphasized industry sector.

Primary risks

 

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

 

2. Credit Risk- The Fund could lose money if any bonds it owns are downgraded in credit rating or go into default. For this reason, the Fund will only invest in investment-grade bonds. The degree of risk for a particular security may be reflected in its credit rating. Bonds rated at the time of purchase BBB by Standard & Poor’s or, unrated, but determined to be of comparable quality by the investment manager, are subject to greater market risk and credit risk, or loss of principal and interest, than higher-rated securities.

 

3. Sector Risk- If certain industry sectors or types of securities don’t perform as well as the Fund expects, the Fund’s performance could suffer.

 

INVESTING IN THE FUNDS

 

DETERMINING SHARE PRICES

 

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

 

SHARE PRICES

 

The shares are offered at their public offering price, which is net asset value per share plus the applicable sales charge. The sales charge varies, depending on how much you invest. There are no sales charges on reinvested distributions. The following sales charges(1) apply to your share purchases:

 

Amount Invested


  

As a % of

Offering Price

$100,000 to 250,000

   3.25 %   3.34 %   3.00 %

   1.00 %   1.01 %   0.75 %

$1,000,000 and up

   0.00 %   0.00 %   0.00 %

(1) There are no sales charges on exchanges of shares of a Timothy Plan Fund for shares of the other Timothy Plan Fund.

 

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

 

Exemptions from sales charges

 

The Trust will waive sales charges on purchases of shares of any Asset Allocation Fund by:

 

1. fee-based registered investment advisers for their clients,

 

2. broker/dealers with wrap fee accounts,

 

3. registered investment advisers or brokers for their own accounts, or family members of their household,

 

4. trustees, directors, officers, agents, employees, and employee-related accounts of the Trust or any entity which provides services to the Timothy Plan pursuant to a written agreement for such services approved by the Board of Trustees of the Timothy Plan, and

 

The Trust may also, in its sole discretion, waive sales charges on purchases of shares:

 

1. by for an organization’s retirement plan that places either (i) 200 or more participants or (ii) $300,000 or more of combined participant initial assets into the Funds. The Trust, in its sole discretion, may lower these minimums,

 

2. by subscribers of Timothy Plan Funds that are making direct exchanges from load shares of other U.S. registered mutual funds, or have liquidated funds’ shares within 90 days of the purchase of Timothy Plan funds, and/or

 

3. under circumstances in which the waiving of such charges are deemed by the Trust to be in the best interests of the Trust and its shareholders.

 

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

 

12    PROSPECTUS FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS    February 2, 2004       


Reduced sales charges

 

You may qualify for a reduced sales charge by aggregating the net asset value of all the load shares you and your related accounts previously purchased in either Fund with the dollar amount of shares to be purchased. For example, if you and your related accounts already owned shares in one or more of the Funds with an aggregate net asset value of $950,000, and you decided to purchase an additional $60,000 of shares of either Fund, there would be no sales charge on that purchase because you had accumulated more than $1,000,000 in all Funds of the Trust. Related accounts include and are limited to accounts established by or for your parents, spouse, children, or grandchildren.

 

Letter of intent

 

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

 

DISTRIBUTION FEES

 

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

 

Under the Class A Distribution Plan, the Class A shares of each Traditional Fund compensate TPL and others for distribution expenses at a maximum annual rate of 0.25% (of which, the full amount may be service fees), payable on a monthly basis, of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Class A shares of the Asset Allocation Fund do not impose a service fee, but you will indirectly pay a proportionate share of that fee as a result of the Asset Allocation Funds’ investment in the Traditional Funds.

 

Because 12B-1 fees are paid out of each Fund’s assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

 

OPENING AND ADDING TO YOUR ACCOUNT

 

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

 

Payments for Fund shares must be in U.S. dollars, and in order to avoid fees and delays, should be drawn on a U.S. bank. Please remember that the Trust reserves the right to reject any purchase order for Fund shares. Timothy Plan accepts personal checks made payable to the Timothy Plan. Unless pre-authorized by the Fund at the Fund’s sole discretion, the Timothy Plan will not accept third party checks. The minimum initial investment amount for each Fund, is set forth below:

PURCHASES THROUGH FINANCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS

 

You may purchase shares of the Funds through participating brokers, dealers, and other financial professionals. Simply call your investment professional to make your purchase. If you are a client of a securities broker or other financial organization, such organizations may charge a separate fee for administrative services in connection with investments in Fund shares and may impose account minimums and other requirements. These fees and requirements would be in addition to those imposed by the applicable Fund. If you are investing through a securities broker or other financial organization, please refer to its program materials for any additional special provisions or conditions that may be different from those described in this Prospectus (for example, some or all of the services and privileges described may not be available to you). Securities brokers and other financial organizations have the responsibility of transmitting purchase orders and funds, and of crediting their customers’ accounts following redemptions, in a timely manner in accordance with their customer agreements and this Prospectus.

 

PURCHASING SHARES BY AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN

 

You may purchase shares of the Funds through an Automatic Investment Plan (the “AIP”). The AIP provides a convenient way for you to have money deducted directly from your checking, savings, or other accounts for investment in shares of the Fund. You can take advantage of the AIP by filling out the AIP application, included with this Prospectus. You may only select this option if you have an account maintained at a domestic financial institution which is an Automated Clearing House member for automatic withdrawals under the AIP. The Trust may alter, modify, amend or terminate the AIP at any time, and will notify you at least 30 days in advance if it does so. For more information, call the Transfer Agent at 1-800-662-0201.

 

RETIREMENT PLANS

 

Retirement plans may provide you with a method of investing for your retirement by allowing you to exclude from your taxable income, subject to certain limitations, the initial and subsequent investments in your plan and also allowing such investments to grow without the burden of current income tax until moneys are withdrawn from the plan. Contact your investment professional or call the Trust at 1-800 TIM-PLAN to receive information concerning your options.

 

14    PROSPECTUS FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS    February 2, 2004       


OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Confirmation Statements            

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

Account Statements

   Quarterly.

Financial Reports

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

 

Each Fund reserves the right to reject applications for shares under circumstances or in amounts considered disadvantageous to shareholders. The Fund specifically prohibits trades recognized and referred to as “market timing” trades. Applications will not be accepted unless they are accompanied by payment in U.S. funds. Payment must be made by wire transfer, check, or money order drawn on a U.S. bank, savings & loan, or credit union. The custodian will charge a $20.00 fee against your account, in addition to any loss sustained by a Fund, for any payment check returned to the custodian for insufficient funds.

 

If you place an order for Fund shares through a securities broker, and you place your order in proper form before 4:00 p.m. East Coast time on any business day in accordance with their procedures, your purchase will be processed at the public offering price calculated at 4:00 p.m. on that day, if the securities broker then transmits your order to the Transfer Agent before the end of its business day (which is usually 5:00 p.m. East Coast time). The securities broker must send to the Transfer Agent immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price within three business days for the order.

 

HOW TO SELL (REDEEM) YOUR SHARES

 

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

 

BY MAIL

 

Redemption requests should be mailed via U.S. mail to:

 

The Timothy Plan

c/o Citco-Quaker Fund Services, Inc.

P.O. Box C1100

Southeastern, PA 19398-1100

 

or by overnight courier service to:

 

Please call the Fund at

1-800-846-7526, or

1-800-662-0201

 

The selling price for shares being redeemed will be the applicable Fund’s per share net asset value next calculated after receipt of all required documents in “good order.”

 

“Good order” means that the request must include:

 

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

 

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

 

     PROSPECTUS FOR THE TIMOTHY PLAN FAMILY OF FUNDS    February 2, 2004      15


customary weekend or holiday closing or under any emergency circumstances, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds may suspend redemptions or postpone payment dates.

 

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

 

SIGNATURE GUARANTEES

 

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

 

(i) if you change the ownership on your account;

 

(ii) when you want the redemption proceeds sent to a different address than is registered on the account;

 

(iii) if the proceeds are to be made payable to someone other than the account’s owner(s);

 

(iv) any redemption transmitted by federal wire transfer to your bank; and

 

(v) if a change of address request has been received by the Trust or the Transfer Agent within 30 days previous to the request for redemption. (for joint accounts, all signatures must be guaranteed, if required as above)

 

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

 

Signature guarantees are designed to protect both you and the Trust from fraud. To obtain a signature guarantee, you should visit a bank, trust company, member of a national securities exchange or other broker-dealer, or other eligible guarantor institution. (Notaries public cannot provide signature guarantees.) Guarantees must be signed by an authorized person at one of these institutions, and be accompanied by the words “Gold Medallion Signature Guarantee.” Please call customer service at 1-800-662-0201 if you have questions.

 

BY TELEPHONE

 

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

 

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

 

BY AUTOMATED CLEARING HOUSE (“ACH”)

 

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

 

REDEMPTION AT THE OPTION OF THE TRUST

 

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

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

 

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

 

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

 

Unless you elect to have your distributions paid in cash, your distributions will be reinvested in additional shares of the applicable Fund. You may change the manner in which your dividends are paid at any time by writing to The Timothy Plan, c/o Citco-Quaker Fund Services, Inc., PO Box C-1100, Southeastern, PA, 19398-1100.

 

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

 

THE INVESTMENT ADVISER

 

Timothy Partners, Ltd., 1304 West Fairbanks Avenue, Winter Park, Florida, 32789, is a Florida limited partnership organized on December 6, 1993, and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser. TPL supervises the investment of the assets of each Fund in accordance with the objectives, policies and restrictions of the Trust. TPL approves the portfolio of securities selected by the investment managers. To determine which securities are Excluded Securities, TPL conducts its own research and consults a number of Christian ministries on these issues. TPL retains the right to change the sources from whom it acquires its information, at its discretion. TPL has been the adviser to the Funds since their inceptions.

 

Covenant Funds, Inc., a Florida corporation (“CFI”), is the managing general partner of TPL. Arthur D. Ally is President, Chairman and Trustee of the Trust, as well as President and 70% shareholder of CFI. Mr. Ally had over eighteen years experience in the investment industry prior to founding TPL, having worked for Prudential Bache, Shearson Lehman Brothers and Investment Management & Research. Some or all of these firms may be utilized by an investment manager to execute portfolio trades for a Fund. Neither Mr. Ally nor any affiliated person of the Trust will receive any benefit from such transactions.

 

For its services, TPL is paid an annual fee equal to 0.65% on each of the Strategic Growth Fund and the Conservative Growth Fund.

 

TPL, with the Trust’s consent, has engaged the services of the investment managers described below to provide day-to-day investment advisory services to certain of the Traditional Funds in which the Asset Allocation Funds invest. TPL pays all fees charged by the investment managers for such services.

PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER

 

Timothy Partners Ltd. acts as principal underwriter for the Trust. The purpose of acting as an underwriter is to facilitate the notice filing of the Funds’ shares under state securities laws and to assist in the sale of shares. TPL also acts as Investment Adviser to the Trust. TPL is not compensated for serving as underwriter of the Trust. In return for specific services provided by TPL, TPL receives one-half of the custodial free ($10 per annum) remitted to US Bank as Custodian for IRA and other non-qualified accounts.

 

FEDERAL TAXES

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

 

The Funds will not issue stock certificates evidencing shares. Instead, your account will be credited with the number of shares purchased, relieving you of responsibility for safekeeping of certificates and the need to deliver them upon redemption. Written confirmations are issued for all purchases of shares.

 

In reports, other communications to investors, or advertising material, the Funds may describe general economic and market conditions affecting their performance and may compare their performance with other mutual funds as listed in the rankings prepared by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. or similar nationally recognized rating services and financial publications that monitor mutual fund performance. The Funds may also, from time to time, compare their performance to one or more appropriate indices.

 

According to the law of Delaware under which the Trust is organized, and the Trust’s Agreement and Declaration of Trust and by-laws, the Trust is not required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders unless required to do so under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, the Trust will not hold annual shareholder meetings unless required to do so under the Act. Shareholders do have the right to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting to remove directors. The Trust will render assistance to shareholders in connection with their efforts to arrange a shareholder meeting as required under Section 16(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

The Board of Trustees of the Trust has approved Codes of Ethics (the “Code”) for the Funds, Investment Advisor, Sub-Advisors, and Principal Underwriter. These Codes govern the personal activities of persons who may have knowledge of the investment activities of the Funds, requires that they file regular reports concerning their personal securities transactions, and prohibits activities that might result in harm to the Funds. The Board is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the Codes. The Trust has filed copies of each Code with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Copies of the Codes of Ethics may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. The Codes are also available on the SEC’s EDGAR database at the SEC’s web site (www.sec.gov). Copies of this information can be obtained, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request (publicinfo@sec.gov), or by writing the SEC’s Public Reference Section, Washington, DC 20549-0102.
