TIMOTHY PLAN VARIABLE SERIES

Conservative Growth

Strategic Growth

September 30, 2022

Dear Timothy Plan Strategic Growth and Conservative Growth Variable Shareholder:

This report covers the fiscal year (01-01-22 thru 12-31-22). Asset allocation has normally been, and we believe it continues to be, a very prudent approach to investing. As a review, your Timothy Plan investment was a compilation of many of Timothy’s underlying funds (including four of our ETF’s) and, as such, your performance was directly related to the performance of those underlying funds. I believe you are aware that this has been a very difficult period in the capital markets with the economic recession which created a lot of turbulence in both the equity and fixed income markets. As a result, performance in all our underlying funds was negative for this past fiscal year which contributed to the negative returns for the Strategic Growth and Conservative Growth Portfolios. While I am never happy with negative performance, at least both these asset allocation funds were down less than their respective indexes. You can find the specific details in the financial highlights of the main body of this report.

After careful consideration and with the consent of the Board of Trustees, we have initiated the withdrawal of the Funds from the marketplace. The withdrawal will be completed on the 17^th day of April, 2023.

As you know, no one can guarantee future performance. However, the one thing that I can assure you of is every one of our sub-advisors has done their very best and our team here at Timothy has worked very hard to provide you an investment in which we hope you felt comfortable.

Thank you for trusting us with a part of your financial future.

Sincerely,

Arthur D. Ally

President

Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Portfolio Variable Series vs. Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index

The chart shows the value of a hypothetical initial investment of $10,000 in the Fund and the Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index on December 31, 2012 and held through December 31, 2022. The Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index is a widely recognized index that measures global stocks, bonds and cash which are in turn represented by multiple sub-indexes. Performance figures include the change in value of the investments in the indexes and the reinvestment of dividends. The total operating expense ratio (including indirect expenses), as stated in the Fund’s Prospectus dated April 30, 2022, is 1.56%. The index return does not reflect expenses, which have been deducted from the Fund’s return. The returns shown do not reflect deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares as well as other charges and expenses of the insurance contract, or separate account. THE FUND’S RETURN REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series vs. Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Portfolio Index

The chart shows the value of a hypothetical initial investment of $10,000 in the Fund and the Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Portfolio Index on December 31, 2012 and held through December 31, 2022. The Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Portfolio Index is a widely recognized index that measures global stocks, bonds and cash which are in turn represented by multiple sub-indexes. Performance figures include the change in value of the investments in the indexes and the reinvestment of dividends. The total operating expense ratio (including indirect expenses), as stated in the Fund’s Prospectus dated April 30, 2022, is 1.38%. The index return does not reflect expenses, which have been deducted from the Fund’s return. The returns shown do not reflect deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares as well as other charges and expenses of the insurance contract, or separate account. THE FUND’S RETURN REPRESENTS PAST PERFORMANCE AND IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE RESULTS.

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. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Portfolio distributions or on the redemption of Portfolio shares as well as other charges and expenses of the insurance contract, or separate account.

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, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the following table 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

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.

Note 1 | Significant Accounting Policies

The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Portfolio Variable Series (“Conservative Growth Portfolio”) and the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series (“Strategic Growth Portfolio”) (individually the “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) were organized as diversified series of The Timothy Plan (the “Trust”). The Trust is an open-ended investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1993 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Funds are intended to serve as investment vehicles for variable life insurance, variable annuity and group annuity products of insurance companies or for qualified plans. They are offered only to separate accounts established by various insurance companies and to certain eligible qualified retirement plans. The Conservative Growth Portfolio’s primary objective is moderate long-term capital growth. The Strategic Growth Portfolio’s primary investment objective is medium to high levels of long-term capital growth. The Conservative Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in the following Timothy Funds which are other series of the Trust: Small Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Fixed Income Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, International Fund, Israel Common Values Fund, Defensive Strategies Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Timothy Plan High Dividend Stock ETF, Timothy Plan International ETF, Timothy Plan U.S. Large Cap Core ETF and Timothy Plan U.S. Small Cap Core ETF. The Conservative Growth Portfolio also invests in the Fidelity Institutional Money Market Funds – Government Portfolio, an unaffiliated mutual fund. The Strategic Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in the following Timothy Funds which are other series of the Trust: Small Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Fixed Income Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, International Fund, Israel Common Values Fund, Defensive Strategies Fund, Growth & Income Fund, Timothy Plan High Dividend Stock ETF, Timothy Plan International ETF, Timothy Plan U.S. Large Cap Core ETF and Timothy Plan U.S. Small Cap Core ETF. The Strategic Growth Portfolio can also invest in the Fidelity Institutional Money Market Funds – Government Portfolio, an unaffiliated mutual fund. Each Fund is one of a series of Funds currently authorized by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Timothy Partners, Ltd., (“TPL” or the “Advisor”) is the Investment Advisor for the Funds.

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 (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.

A. SECURITY VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Funds value their investments at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

VALUATION OF FUND OF FUNDS

A Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based upon methods established by the Board of Trustees of the Underlying Funds.

Open-ended funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.

EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS

The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and may be actively traded or represent a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Each ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the ETF. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

The Trust utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Each Fund purchases Class A Shares of the Timothy Funds at net asset value without any sales charges. Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending Net Asset Value (“NAV”) provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities. Securities including ETFs, that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.

The Board has delegated to the advisor responsibility for determining the value of Fund portfolio securities under certain circumstances. Under such circumstances, the advisor 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 advisor 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 Board has adopted written policies and procedures to guide the advisor and sub-advisors with respect to the circumstances under which, and the methods to be used, in fair valuing securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Conservative Growth Portfolio’s investments as of December 31, 2022:

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Strategic Growth Portfolio’s investments as of December 31, 2022:

Refer to the Schedules of Investments for underlying Fund allocations.

The Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio did not hold any Level 2 or Level 3 securities during the year.

B. INVESTMENT INCOME AND SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

The Funds hold certain investments which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. It is possible for these dividends to exceed the underlying investments’ taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

C. NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

Net asset per share of the capital stock of each Fund is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing the value of its net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is the policy of 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. Each Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income or gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years ended December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2021, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ December 31, 2022, year-end tax returns. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2022, 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 2019 and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially within the next twelve months.

E. USE OF ESTIMATES

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Funds. There were no such reclassifications.

G. EXPENSES

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

H. INDEMNIFICATION

The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

Note 2 | Purchases and Sales of Securities

The following is a summary of the cost of purchases and proceeds from the sale of securities, other than short-term investments, for the year ended December 31, 2022:

Note 3 | Aggregate Unrealized Appreciation and Depreciation

The identified cost of investments in securities owned by each Fund for federal income tax purposes, and their respective gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation at December 31, 2022, were as follows:

Note 4 | Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions with Service Providers

Timothy Partners, Ltd. is the Investment Advisor for the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) that was renewed by the Board on February 17-18, 2022. TPL supervises the investment of the assets of each Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the objectives, policies and restrictions of the Funds. Under the terms of the Agreement, TPL receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Total fees earned by TPL during the year ended December 31, 2022 were $9,763 and $15,765 for the Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio, respectively. The Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio owed TPL $267 and $944, respectively, at December 31, 2022. An officer and trustees of the Trust are also officers/employees of the Advisor.

Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”) provides administrative, fund accounting, and transfer agency services to the Funds pursuant to agreements with the Trust (excluding the Timothy Plan ETFs), for which it receives from each Fund: (i) basis points in decreasing amounts as assets reach certain breakpoints; and (ii) any related out-of-pocket expenses. Fees are billed monthly as follows:

Fund Accounting and Fund Administration Fees:

Fund Complex Base annual fee:

25 basis points (0.25%) on the first $200 million of net assets

15 basis points (0.15%) on the next $200 million of net assets;

8 basis points (0.08%) on the next $600 million of net assets; and

6 basis points (0.06%) on net assets greater than $1 billion.

Transfer agency fees for the Funds are combined with the Fund Accounting and Fund Administration fees under the Trust’s agreement with UFS. Therefore, there is no separate base annual fee per Fund. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities.

Compliance officer fees for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $1,735 and $1,498 for the Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio, respectively.

Note 5 | Control Ownership

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates the presumption of control of the Fund under Section 2(a) 9 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of December 31, 2022, American United Life Insurance Co. (“AUL”) held for the benefit of others, in aggregate, approximately 82% of the Conservative Growth Portfolio and approximately 77% of the Strategic Growth Portfolio.

Note 6 | Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Capital

The tax character of distributions paid for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were as follows:

As of December 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings/(loss) on a tax basis were as follows:

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income/(loss) and accumulated earnings/(loss) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Note 7| Underlying Investment in Other Investment Companies

The Conservative Growth Portfolio currently seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing a portion of its assets in the Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund (the “Security”). The Portfolio may redeem its investments from the Security at any time if the Advisor determines that it is in the best interest of the Portfolio and its shareholders to do so.

The performance of the Portfolio will be directly affected by the performance of the Security. The annual report of the Security, along with the report of the independent registered public accounting firm is included in the Security’s N-CSRs available at www.sec.gov. As of December 31, 2022, 38.3% of the Conservative Growth Portfolio’s net assets were invested in the Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund.

Note 8 | Investments in Affiliated Companies

The Funds’ transactions with affiliates represent holdings for which the respective Fund and the underlying investee fund have the same investment advisor or where the investee fund’s investment advisor is under common control with the Fund’s investment advisor.

The Conservative Growth Portfolio and Strategic Growth Portfolio had the following transactions during the year ended December 31, 2022, with affiliates:

Note 9 | Subsequent Events

Subsequent events after the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements, other than the following:

Based on the recommendation of the Advisor, it has been determined that it is in the best interests of the Conservative and Strategic Growth Variable Series Portfolios and their shareholders that the Portfolios cease operations. This was approved by the Board of Trustees on February 6, 2023. The Portfolios will close and all outstanding shares will be redeemed on April 17, 2023.

Note 10 | Tax Information (Unaudited)

The fund intends to elect to pass through to shareholders the income tax credit for taxes paid to foreign countries. Foreign source income and foreign tax expense per outstanding share as of fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

The Timothy Plan

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Portfolio Variable Series and Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series (the “Funds”), two of the portfolios constituting The Timothy Plan, as of December 31, 2022, 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, the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2022, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Timothy Partners, Ltd., since 2005.
