Yes, it will if it has original jurisdiction to hear tort cases. Charitable immunity is a common affirmative defense raised by charitable organizations when a person injured while receiving the benefits provided by that organization sues them for damages. If the court can hear the plaintiff's tort case, it can entertain an affirmative defense to it.
It also goes without saying (although I am saying it here) that any appellate court having appellate jurisdiction over that trial court can hear an appeal of the disposition of the charitable immunity defense.
