As a whole, GPA isn't that important for most M.Div programs. They review people holistically and understand that people come from all walks of life. That said, divinity school is a graduate program so if your GPA is particularly bad (around a 2.0 out of 4.0), then a sentence or two about how you improved your grades and the step(s) you've taken to make sure you don't repeat bad grades would be helpful. Don't spend more than 1-2 sentences on this though!
Emory is a fine school. I don't know anyone that has graduated from Emory with this degree though so I can't speak to that.
If you're wanting to go onto a Ph.D. with a focus on pastoral care, most of these programs are going to expect a M.Div and sizeable CPE experience.
