                         SUPPLEMENT DATED JUNE 27, 2000
                                       TO
                          PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 2000

Timothy  Partners,  Ltd.("TPL"),  the  Investment  Adviser  to each  Fund of the
Timothy Plan, previously has absorbed many expenses of the Funds and waived some
or all of its fees in order to  maintain  certain  expense  ratios for the Funds
until the Funds could grow to the point where they were more self-sufficient.

The Timothy Plan has now achieved  aggregate  assets of almost $40 million.  TPL
has determined that it may now safely amend its voluntary commitment in order to
allow the Funds to  shoulder  a greater  percentage  of their  expenses.  TPL is
pleased to be able to undertake this amendment, because it reflects the maturing
of the Timothy Plan made possible by morally conscious investors contributing to
the investment growth of the Fund.

Accordingly,  the Prospectus for the Timothy Plan Family of Funds,  dated May 1,
2000, is supplemented as follows:

                                FEES AND EXPENSES

SHARES  OF THE  TIMOTHY  PLAN  SMALL-CAP  VALUE  FUND  ("SMALL"),  TIMOTHY  PLAN
