Czipott studied at the Lutheran Lyceum of Sopron, and he was a curate in Körmend, and later in Legrad (Croatia). By 1821 he was serving in Hodoš, where he built a new church in 1823.

In 1829 he wrote his work Dühovni áldovi (Spiritual Blessings).

Czipott died in 1834. His successor in Puconci was the writer and poet János Kardos.
