Here is the BSFS website, along with a picture of the building. Not a church anymore, unless you think sci-fi is a religion:

The Aldine was your typical Neighborhood Theater. It is in what was then the ethnic area of East Baltimore. It featured a Saturday Kids Matinée for 12 cents. I remember one Saturday they showed a Hoppalong Cassidy film. On Sunday the same film was on TV, cut back to fit in an hour with Commercials. This was the beginning of the end. It closed in 1952.
Here are some photos:

The 3310 E Baltimore Street former Aldine Theater is now owned by the Baltimore Science Fiction Society and is used for meetings and a free lending library. Movies are occasionally shown on BSFS’s 12x12ft screen and video projector. All theater seats have been removed, however, the sloped floor, candy counter and some decorative elements remain. www.bsfs.org
