Hi, She walked into the church, located in the center of the city, that she would attend every Sunday. The grammar is OK. However, I think you probably mean that she was in the habit of attending every Sunday.

Your heading says "appositive", but there's no appositive in your sentence, if that's what you're asking.
The planet Venus sometimes appears as a crescent in a telescope.
Venus is an appositive with planet.
It would be difficult to construct an appositive with the noun church, I think, although church is an appositive with noun

Hi guys,
CJ, this seems to me to be apposition: She walked into the church, a fine 19th. century building, that she would attend every Sunday.
Milky, you ask What if she hadn't yet attended that church?
I focused on the past, because I felt that was probably the intended meaning.

CliveHi guys,I wouldn't use "going to" if she didn't yet know she would attend that church.
It does sound a bit literary, though. A common alternative would be 'was going to attend'.
Best wishes, Clive
