SUMMARY PROSPECTUS (CLASS A & C) / 1

**Annual Fund Operating Expenses**

*(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)* 

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Class A** | **Class C** |
| Management Fee | 1.00% | 1.00% |
| Distribution/Service (12b-1 Fees) | 0.25% | 1.00% |
| Other Expenses | 0.47% | 0.47% |
| Total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement  | 1.72% | 2.47% |

---

(1) For purchases in excess of $1mm dollars in Class A shares,
 the Trust's Distributor, Timothy Partners, Ltd., will pay a finders' fee
 to brokers as follows: 1% on purchases of shares of the Funds in amounts from $1 million
 to $2 million, 0.75% on the next $1 million, 0.50% on the next $2 million, and 0.25%
 on all amounts in excess of $5 million. In such cases, those purchases will be subject
 to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for 18 months after the date of purchase.

(2) For Class C shares, a one percent (1%) contingent deferred
 sales charge is imposed on shares liquidated within the first thirteen months after purchase.

Example:

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. 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 that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Class A** | **Class C** <br> (with redemption)  | **Class C** <br> (without redemption)  |
| 1 Year | $715 | $350 | $250 |
| 3 Years | $1062 | $770 | $770 |
| 5 Years | $1432 | $1316 | $1316 |
| 10 Years | $2469 | $2806 | $2806 |

---

The Example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.

**Portfolio Turnover**

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund's performance. During the Fund's most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 8% of the average value of its portfolio.

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS (CLASS A & C) / 2

**Principal Investment Strategies**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ◾ | The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund's total assets in the common stock of companies domiciled and/or headquartered in Israel through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and direct investments in such companies on foreign stock exchanges, without regard to market capitalizations. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ◾ | The Fund invests using a growth investing style. Growth funds generally focus on stocks of companies believed to have above-average potential for growth in revenue, earnings, cash flow, or other similar criteria. These stocks typically have low dividend yields and above-average prices in relation to such measures as earnings and book value. Growth and value stocks have historically produced similar long-term returns, though each category has periods when it outperforms the other. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ◾ | The Fund invests its assets in companies which the Fund's Investment Manager believes show a high probability for superior growth. Companies that meet or exceed specific criteria established by the Manager in the selection process are purchased. Securities are sold when they reach internally determined pricing targets or no longer qualify under the Manager's investment criteria. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ◾ | The Fund may, from time to time, take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. When the Fund takes a defensive position, the Fund's assets will be held in cash and/or cash equivalents. |

---

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| ◾ | The Fund will not invest in Excluded Securities. Excluded Securities are securities issued by any company that is involved in the production or wholesale distribution of alcohol, tobacco, or gambling equipment, gambling enterprises, or which is involved, either directly or indirectly, in abortion or pornography, or promoting anti-family entertainment or unbiblical lifestyles. |

**Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund**

The Fund's investments are subject to the following principal risks:

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

**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.

**Issuer-Specific Risk.** The value of an individual security or a particular type of security can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole.

**Country-Specific Risk.** The Fund invests in Israeli securities, and Israel is subject to unique political and economic risks. As a result, Israeli securities can be more volatile than the market as a whole and can perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. The Fund's investments in the securities of Israel may experience more rapid and extreme changes in value than funds with investments solely in securities of U.S. companies or funds that invest across a larger spectrum of the foreign market. This is because the securities market in Israel is relatively small, with a limited number of companies representing a smaller number of industries. Israeli 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.

**Currency Risk.** Because the securities represented by ADRs are foreign stocks denominated in non-U.S. currency, 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.

**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.

**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.

SUMMARY PROSPECTUS (CLASS A & C) / 3

**Excluded Security Risk.** Because the Fund does not invest in Excluded Securities and will divest itself of securities that are subsequently discovered to be ineligible, the Fund may be riskier than other funds that invest in a broader array of securities.

**Growth Risk.** The Fund often invests in companies after assessing their growth potential. Securities of growth companies may be more volatile than other stocks. If the portfolio manager's perception of a company's growth potential is not realized, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, reducing the Fund's return. In addition, because different types of stocks tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, "growth" stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of securities.

**Investing In Other Funds Risk.** The Fund invests in the securities of other investment companies. To the extent that the Fund invests in other mutual funds, exchange traded funds and other commingled funds, it will indirectly bear the expenses of those funds, which will cause the Fund's return to be lower.

**Cybersecurity Risks.** Despite the various protections utilized by the Fund and its service providers, systems, networks, or devices utilized by the Fund potentially can be breached. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.

**Past performance**

**The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing the variability of the Fund's performance from year to year and by comparing the Fund's performance to a broad-based index. The Fund's past performance (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. More up-to-date returns are available on the Fund's website at <u>fund.timothyplan.com</u>, or by calling the Fund at (800) 846-7526.**

(1) After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest
 individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and
 local taxes. After-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ
 from those shown. After-tax returns shown are not relevant to investors who hold their
 Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) plans or individual retirement
 accounts.

(2) The TA-125 Index is TASE's most significant
 index and considered as the Israel Economy Benchmark Index. TA-125 financial products are
 the most popular among TASE Indices. The index consists the 125 shares with the highest market
 capitalization that are included in the TA-35 and TA-90 indices.

(3) Class A share returns reflect the assessment of the maximum front-end
 sales load on the first business day of the year.

**Purchase and Sale of Shares**

You may purchase, redeem or exchange shares of the Fund on any business day, which is any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. You may purchase, redeem or exchange shares of the Fund either through a financial advisor or directly from the Fund. The minimum initial purchase or exchange into the Fund is $1,000, or $50 through monthly systematic investment plan accounts. There is no minimum subsequent investment amount. There are no minimums for purchases or exchanges through employer-sponsored retirement plans, IRAs, or other qualified plans. The Fund shares are redeemable on any business day by contacting your financial advisor, or by written request to the Fund, by telephone, or by wire transfer.

**Tax Information**

The Fund's distributions are taxable and will be taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) plan, individual retirement account (IRA) or 529 college savings plan. Tax-deferred arrangements may be taxed later upon withdrawal of monies from those accounts.

**Payment to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries**

If you purchase shares of the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its distributor may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other financial intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
