For your convenience, the comments have been reproduced with a response following each comment.

 

Comment 1.Please confirm in correspondence that the Fund held no non-income-producing securities in its portfolio as of December 31, 2023. This comment applies to the High Dividend Stock ETF and the High Dividend Stock Enhanced ETF.

 

Response:We affirm that neither the Timothy Plan High Dividend Stock nor Timothy Plan High Dividend Stock Enhanced ETFs held non-income-producing securities.

 

Comment 2.For those Funds that have a unitary fee structure whereby the Adviser is obligated to pay service providers on behalf of the Fund, please describe in correspondence if the Adviser is current with all payments to service providers. Additionally, describe if the agreement filed with the Commission contains provisions whereby the Fund is contractually obligated to pay such service providers.

 

Response:The Advisor is under contractual obligation to pay all expenses incurred by each ETF offered by the Trust. All payments are, and have been, continuously current. That agreement does not contain provisions whereby the Fund is contractually obligated to pay such service providers.

 

Comment 3.Please explain the following benchmark disclosure differences in correspondence:

 

·International ETF – the benchmark in the current year Form N-CSR performance table and graph compared to the benchmark in the prior year Form N-CSR performance table compared to the benchmark in the prior year Form N-CSR performance graph.

 

·High Dividend Stock Enhanced ETF – the benchmark in the current year Form N-CSR performance table and graph compared to the benchmark in the current year Form N-CSR performance graph footnote compared to the benchmark in the prior year Form N-CSR performance table compared to the benchmark in the prior year Form N-CSR performance graph.

 

In addition, if one or either Fund changed its primary benchmark from the one used in the prior year, please explain why the appropriate disclosures were not included.

 

Response:The benchmark for the 2022 N-CSR graph was incorrectly labeled for the International ETF, the name on the table and footnote was a former naming convention of the same index employed in 2023; there was a clerical error in the labels and footnote for the High Dividend Stock Enhanced ETFs. However, the data for both funds was correct. Benchmark information depicted for 2023 for both funds is correct.

 

If you have any questions regarding the enclosed, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at terrycovert@timothypartners.com or 407-644-1986.

Sincerely,
