They seem unified and in agreement on the number of books and translation and interpretation. And they marketed their belief in a way that lets you decide if you want to consider their approach or not.
I don't know the church in question, but I'm sure they could agree on some of the things you want them to say. Why not compete, and market your church with your choice of words of self-identity instead of measuring some other church against your choice of words of self-identity? Isn't complaining about others the easy and lazy (fundamentalist) approach? This church isn't likely to join your particular brand of theism. Can't you just find a church that can?

How about "We try to live by Jesus' example." or "We try to love God and love our neighbor as best we can." or even "We strive to know God. Join us in our search."
