The word 'Pfarrerin' (female pastor) is the feminine form of 'der Pfarrer' (pastor). The ending '-in' is used very frequently in German to form the feminine form of professions or terms for people.
Die Kirchengemeinde sucht einen neuen Pfarrer oder eine neue Pfarrerin.
The church congregation is looking for a new male pastor or a new female pastor.
The term 'Pfarrerin' (female pastor) is used specifically in the Protestant church. In the Catholic Church there are no female priests, so this term does not exist there.
Als evangelische Christin gehe ich sonntags zum Gottesdienst meiner Pfarrerin.
As a Protestant Christian, I go to my female pastor's church service on Sundays.
Common formulations are 'mit der Pfarrerin sprechen' (to speak with the female pastor), 'die Pfarrerin der Gemeinde' (the congregation's female pastor), or 'die Pfarrerin hält einen Gottesdienst' (the female pastor conducts a church service).
