Stop healing them. If they're actively stealing your things just don't heal them until the item is returned or start charging for the service. From the information provided it seems that they're taking advantage of you and your character that issue needs to be dealt with. A Cleric can be plenty broken without too much work by focusing on the spells you're preparing each day.
Is the issue only in game with the characters only or is there an issue out of game with the players as well?
don't heal them if they are being dumb.
Also what are your stats like and what are your domains?
If they are stealing your items, talk to them out of character. That ain't right, perception and stealth rolls be damned. As for Cleric, ask GM to switch alignment to CG or hope you worship a good god.
Summon Good Monster > Summon slightly better monsters, monsters have diehard so they have a ton more HP (they go away at -con instead of 0)
Summon Neutral Monster > Summon slightly better monsters, good monster is slightly better here
Summon Sacred Monster > Summon monsters as a standard action instead of a round (you are the only class that can do this IIRC). Monsters must be same alignment of you (You need summon neutral or good monster depending alignment)
Augment Summoning > All summons get +4 Str/Con
Evolved Summoned Monster > Summons become more powerful, gaining lots of unique options
Quicken Channel > Use 2 uses of channel energy to do it as a move action. This means you can Summon > Channel > 5foot step in one turn.
Selective Channeling > Remove up to CHA people from your Channel every time you channel. Useful to exclude a*@!*!* allies or enemies.
How about an absurdly efficient healer, like a kitsune wrecking mysticism dual life spirit guide oracle or an oradin?
The problem with healers is that bad ones are terrible, not that good ones aren't fun.

Half-Orc can give summoners Ferocity and the FAQ says that it works, letting summons go below 0 HP.
Diehard and Ferocity are basically the same thing in this case, letting the summon act and keep fighting past 0 HP.

Clerics are only healers if you play them that way.
However...this sounds like a Player/GM problem not a PC issue.

Tortured Crusader paladin with on level of dual-cursed lame/tongues or lame/haunted oracle. Broken mind, Broken leg. Fall from grace as soon as you can to have a broken spirit and broken faith as well. Might replace on of your curses with Wrecker to have broken gear.
The first thing you need to do is tell the other players that you aren't having fun playing a heal bot they treat as their personal item bank. If one of them claims they're just roleplaying their character, remind them that, as a Lawful Neutral character, it's well within your character's personality to either charge for healing to recoup the losses you're suffering and/or turn them into local law authorities. Make sure the GM is aware of both these things. If anyone claims that's PVP, point out it's the same as stealing, so either way they're gonna pony up.
Secondly, Clerics can be very powerful, depending on how your stats have been arrayed, whether you want to take an Archetype or Prestiege Class (Evangelist is both fitting and powerful, giving you all of the bonuses listed at the cost of a single level of your own Spellcasting and Channel Positive Energy) and which God you worship (some tactics, weapons and abilities are only open to certain deities). Being able to heal is good - being able to rain the nightmare fires of hell down while summoning a horde of creatures and then healing on round three is better.
Can you give us your current stats, feats and gear?

I guess cold you clarify for me what specifically you mean when they are stealing your items/ being stupid. Iv'e seen enough "Just because I'm a cleric and the only one who can cast cure spells, should I have to heal the barbarian who is face tanking for us?" Posts to know that if I don't ask I can't actually get a fair read on what is going on. No offense intended, just heard one too many crying wolf.
Well first, drop the crossbow and pick up a longbow. You'll do more damage with it and to apply your str to damage if you buy a more expenaive one. And unless your GM has been ignoring the rules, using a crossbow sick because of the actions needed to reload and shoot it.
Second, feats are precious. You claim to not care about healing, but picked up extra AoE healing and better ranged combat. Extra channel isnt that amazing.
Either retrain your feats normally or ask your GM if you can swap them out this once. Also how are you getting a bloodline feat?
I thought if you were lawful neutral, you can't channel negative energy.Your stats are fine for melee in fact better then for ranged. Buy Breastplate and heavy shield. That would improve armor by 2 points. I'd switch out Point blank Shot for Channel Smite. At fifth if you are neutral take Versatile Channel. With that you can channel both positive and negative energy. I'd also switch out Extra Channel for Selective Channel.
If you have time read the spells you can access them online if you don't have the books. Shield of Faith and Bless are two I always pick at first level. Bless helps the party and Shield helps you by boosting AC by 2 for now, at sixth level it becomes 3. Your character looks pretty solid otherwise.
Neutral characters choose between channeling positive or negative energy at first level.
The feat is apparently due to Fey bloodline. I don't know.
Fey bloodline doesn't give alertness and clerics don't get bloodlines.
It looks like you might have swapped out your half-elf's bonus Skill Focus feat for Alertness. I'm just guessing here, but that sounds like a house rule. Maybe a racial trait option of some kind? Pretty balanced, power-wise, in my humble opinion (IMHO).
It sounds like your group is a lot like a group I gamed with once. They had been playing for a long time and incorporated a bunch of house rules they never bothered to write down and/or simply mis-interpreted or ignored rules they didn't like. They were also pretty loose with the alignment system and the actions their characters did. I got the impression there was a history of player vs. player conflict in the group.
I would suggest talking to the group about your personal goals and expectations for playing in their group. Also, if you made mistakes in feats you've selected, ask if you can fix those mistakes.
If you're not having fun, something needs to change.
So I put out the fire and found seeds. I took the seeds and put it in my inventory. My party got mad that I pocketed it and decided to take them from me. I'm only mad because this isn't the first time they did something stupid that I had to fix.
Seeds? They got mad over you putting seeds on your inventory? I sounds like you're playing with a bunch of jerks or fools or both. Can that be fixed?
Do half-elves get bloodlines? Because other than that, I'm confused.Fey bloodline doesn't give alertness and clerics don't get bloodlines.
The feat is apparently due to Fey bloodline. I don't know.
No race get bloodlines. That is a class feature of the sorcerer, making them draw there power from something seeing as they cast on a whim without magical training unlike Wizards.
There might be a few archetypes that give other classes bloodlines, none that I can remember, but the cleric has no such archetype. I'd talk to the DM about that.

I'm no genius. I build plenty of sub-optimal PCs, so read this with a grain of salt.
4th level cleric BAB should be +3.
I agree with posters above who recommend swapping Point-Blank Shot for something else. Your stats look better for melee, and, as mentioned above, if your DM clings to the crossbow RAW, you're not going to get enough use out of that crossbow to justify a feat anyway.
Keep the crossbow though! It might come in handy.
How'd you get the longsword proficiency? Your deity's favored weapon?
Your gear looks way light for fourth level. Is your GM running a low magic game?
Use that heal skill!
As for spells, bless is no longer the monster it was at first level, but it is still pretty solid. Summon Monster is starting to come into its own. As mentioned above Augment Summons is a great feat to pump up your summons, but you need the less stellar Spell Focus(Conjuration) first. You've tons of great buffs. Delay Poison, Remove Paralysis, and Lesser Restoration are situationally useful. I like Scribe Scroll as a feat, just so I can have these three on hand without preparing them.
Good luck.
I think tengu get 2 languages for every rank they put into Linguistics.
But knowing 50 languages isn't broken. Unless the campaign is all about breaking codes and speaking in cyphers.
Level 1 spell Comprehend Languages >> Learning 2 languages per rank in Linguistics.
Basically, if you want to be OP, play a spellcaster. Dump your healing abilities, it doesn't seem like a good investment of your time. Focus on Summon Monster and make everyone else there feel completely useless.
Strengthen your summons by taking the Evangelist Archetype for Inspire Courage (which keeps your allies happy, thus avoiding the nerfbat). If you want even more buffs for your summons, take the "Heroism" subdomain of the "Glory" Domain.
You give up a turn to summon your creatures, though if you want, you could take Sacred Summons and/or Summon Good Monster to help things out on that front. Try to scout things out ahead of time (Animal Domain for a scouting animal companion also works really will with your buffing) so that you can summon before combat.
There are few things as OP yet viable in almost every aspect in the game as proper usage of Summon Monster.
